CVE-2026-92960 Details
Description
vm2 before 3.11.6 fails to restrict access to os and dns builtins under the builtin: ['*'] configuration, allowing sandbox code to read host process identity and network topology. Attackers can invoke dns.setServers() to hijack the host process DNS resolver globally, redirecting all subsequent host DNS queries through an attacker-controlled resolver.
A vulnerability in vm2 versions prior to 3.11.6 allows sandboxed code to access the 'os' and 'dns' built-ins, under the 'builtin: [*]' configuration. This access enables the reading of sensitive host process information and network details. Exploitation can lead to a global hijack of the host's DNS resolver by redirecting all DNS queries through an attacker-controlled server.
Users can upgrade to vm2 version 3.11.6 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
