Isolated-vm Flaw Lets Sandboxed JavaScript Escape to Host for Potential RCE
A critical vulnerability has been discovered in the isolated-vm Node.js library, allowing sandboxed JavaScript code to escape and potentially execute arbitrary code on the host system. The flaw, found in the ExternalCopy component, enables memory corruption and control-flow hijacking. While the isolation primitive itself remains sound, the C++ binding layer that facilitates data transfer across boundaries was found to be vulnerable. Patches are available in versions 6.2.0 and 7.0.1.
