Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

vm2 versions >=3.11.0 and <3.11.8 are affected. In a default VM, sandbox code can reach and mutate host typed-array and ArrayBuffer prototypes, so host objects observe properties the sandbox installed after VM.run() returns. An attacker needs only the ability to run JavaScript in the default VM, with no special configuration, and the impact is host intrinsic prototype pollution and a sandbox boundary violation. Upgrade to vm2 3.11.8, which is listed as the fixed version.
