CVE-2023-32313

vm2 is a sandbox that can run untrusted code with Nodes built-in modules. In versions 3.9.17 and lower of vm2 it was possible to get a read-write reference to the node inspect method and edit options for console.log. As a result a threat actor can edit options for the console.log command. This vulnerability was patched in the release of version 3.9.18 of vm2. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may make the inspect method readonly with vm.readonly(inspect) after creating a vm.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
