      "value": "vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.0, NodeVM's builtin allowlist can be bypassed when the module builtin is allowed (including via the '*' wildcard). The module builtin exposes Node's Module._load(), which loads any module by name directly in the host context, completely bypassing vm2's builtin restriction. This allows sandboxed code to load excluded builtins like child_process and achieve remote code execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.0."

      "value": "vm2 es una vm/sandbox de código abierto para Node.js. Antes de la versión 3.11.0, la lista de permitidos (allowlist) de módulos integrados (builtin) de NodeVM puede eludirse cuando el módulo integrado ’module’ está permitido (incluyendo a través del comodín ’*’). El módulo integrado ’module’ expone Module._load() de Node, que carga cualquier módulo por nombre directamente en el contexto del host, eludiendo completamente la restricción de módulos integrados (builtin) de vm2. Esto permite que el código en el sandbox cargue módulos integrados (builtins) excluidos como ’child_process’ y logre la ejecución remota de código. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la versión 3.11.0."
