CVE-2026-47137
Public on
Last Modified:
Description
A flaw was found in vm2, an open-source virtual machine (VM) sandbox for Node.js. A remote attacker could bypass a security check designed to prevent the combination of nested environments and disabled module loading. This bypass occurs because a strict equality check for the require option can be circumvented by simply omitting the option, leading to an unintended configuration. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to escape the sandbox and achieve arbitrary code execution on the host system.
Statement
The Red Hat Product Security team has rated the impact of this vulnerability as Moderate in Red Hat Developer Hub and Ansible Automation Platform.The affected package is present in both products as a transitive dependency; however, the vulnerable sandbox functionality is not invoked in any production code path. The active sandboxing mechanism used by both products does not rely on this package, and user-supplied input cannot reach the vulnerable code under a standard deployment. Exploitation would require an attacker to independently route arbitrary JavaScript into the sandbox runtime, a condition not present in the default configuration of either product.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authorities (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications ).

My product is listed as "Under investigation" or "Affected", when will Red Hat release a fix for this vulnerability?
- "Under investigation" doesn't necessarily mean that the product is affected by this vulnerability. It only means that our Analysis Team is still working on determining whether the product is affected and how it is affected.
- "Affected" means that our Analysis Team has determined that this product is affected by this vulnerability and might release a fix to address this in the near future.
What can I do if my product is listed as "Will not fix"?
Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
- Upgrade to a supported product version that includes a fix for this vulnerability (recommended).
- Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
- Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.
What can I do if my product is listed as "Fix deferred"?
Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
- Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
- Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.
- Red Hat Engineering focuses on addressing high-priority issues based on their complexity or limited lifecycle support. Therefore, lower-priority issues will not receive immediate fixes.
What is a mitigation?
I have a Red Hat product but it is not in the above list, is it affected?
Why is my security scanner reporting my product as vulnerable to this vulnerability even though my product version is fixed or not affected?
My product is listed as "Out of Support Scope". What does this mean?
