Official Description

vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to version 3.11.4, by combining Buffer.call.call({}.__lookupGetter__, Buffer, "__proto__"), Buffer.call.call({}.__lookupSetter__, Buffer, "__proto__"), and Node.js's ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE Error, the host's TypeError constructor can be obtained, which allows the escape from the sandbox. This allows attackers to run arbitrary code. This issue has been patched in version 3.11.4.

Risk Analysis

This critical vulnerability in vm2, a Node.js sandbox, allows attackers to escape the sandbox and run arbitrary code on the host system. By combining specific Buffer methods and a Node.js error, the host's TypeError constructor can be obtained, leading to a sandbox breakout. With a CVSS score of 10.0, this issue is extremely severe and allows for complete system compromise.

No public exploit is currently known for this vulnerability. The flaw is remotely exploitable due to its network attack vector and low attack complexity.

Recommended Action

Upgrade vm2 to version 3.11.4 or later. Ensure that all Node.js applications using vm2 are updated to the patched version.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-47131 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 10.0.

The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
