Details
A vulnerability was found in patriksimek vm2 up to 3.11.6. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the function tls.setDefaultCACertificates of the component host tls module.

The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate. This is going to have an impact on integrity. CVE summarizes:
vm2 versions from 3.11.3 before 3.11.7 expose the host tls module to NodeVM sandbox code, allowing attackers to call tls.setDefaultCACertificates() and replace process-wide certificate authorities. Attackers with access to allowed tls and url builtins can use URLSearchParams to create host-realm arrays and manipulate the TLS trust store, enabling subsequent host HTTPS clients to accept attacker-controlled certificates.
