Summary

Duplicate Advisory: Default VM can mutate host TypedArray and ArrayBuffer intrinsics after the host-prototype pollution fix

Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-3vgf-8m4q-q4qr. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

vm2 versions from 3.11.0 before 3.11.8 fail to protect host TypedArray and ArrayBuffer prototypes from sandbox mutation. Attackers can use prototype-walking primitives to reach and modify host Uint8Array.prototype, %TypedArray%.prototype, and ArrayBuffer.prototype, causing host-created typed arrays to observe attacker-controlled properties after VM.run() returns.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
