Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-98xx-8mx4-x7cm. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

vm2 versions from 3.11.3 before 3.11.7 expose the host tls module to NodeVM sandbox code, allowing attackers to call tls.setDefaultCACertificates() and replace process-wide certificate authorities. Attackers with access to allowed tls and url builtins can use URLSearchParams to create host-realm arrays and manipulate the TLS trust store, enabling subsequent host HTTPS clients to accept attacker-controlled certificates.
