CVE-2026-92944
Last modified
CVE-2026-92944 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. vm2 versions 3.10.2 through 3.11.6 contain a sandbox escape vulnerability on Node.js 26 where Promise.prototype.finally() bypasses vm2's wrapper protections due to a stale PromiseThenLookupChain protector in V8 14.6. Attackers can exploit this by creating an async function that returns a Promise with an attacker-controlled constructor Symbol.species, allowing them to reach the host Function constructor and process object for arbitrary code execution.. EPSS estimates a 0.58% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
