Machine-written summary

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

vm2 versions 3.11.3 up to but not including 3.11.7 expose the node:sqlite module to NodeVM code when that builtin is allowed explicitly or through the wildcard builtin setting. An untrusted plugin running in the sandbox can load a native library bundled in its own package, which runs native code in the host Node.js process outside the sandbox. Upgrade to vm2 3.11.7, the fixed version.
