CVE-2023-37466 is a critical sandbox escape vulnerability in vm2, a Node.js sandbox library for executing untrusted JavaScript. In vm2 versions up to and including 3.9.19, Promise handler sanitization can be bypassed through the @@species accessor property. The flaw allows attacker-controlled code already executing inside the vm2 sandbox to interfere with Promise species handling and defeat vm2’s intended sanitization of Promise callbacks and related objects. As a result, the isolation boundary between sandboxed code and the host context can be broken, enabling execution of arbitrary code outside the sandbox. The issue was addressed in vm2 version 3.10.0.
