## Critical

Critical, because:

- CVSS score 10.0: 9.0 or more.

How we decide what’s critical: <https://agentprime.io/advisories/critical.md>

## Affected packages

- `vm2` (npm): affected `>=3.10.1, <3.11.7`; fixed in `3.11.7`

## Machine-written summary

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

> GHSA-wjwh-qqvp-g4p4 affects the npm package vm2 in versions 3.10.1 up to but not including 3.11.7. The source reports a sandbox escape reachable from a default VM on Node.js 26 through WebAssembly.compileStreaming and instantiateStreaming, which can expose the host process object to sandbox code. An attacker would need to supply JavaScript to a vm2 sandbox running on Node 26, with no special configuration required, and could then obtain host Node.js capabilities. The fix is to upgrade vm2 to 3.11.7.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-wjwh-qqvp-g4p4>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
