vm2 is Vulnerable to Host File Path Disclosure via Stack Trace Information Leak
Summary
vm2's CallSite wrapper class (intended as a safe wrapper for V8's native CallSite) blocks getThis() and getFunction() to prevent host object leakage, but allows getFileName() to return unsanitized host absolute paths. Any sandboxed code can extract the full directory structure, library paths, and framework versions of the host server.
Details
In lib/setup-sandbox.js:436-466, the CallSite class overrides getThis() and getFunction() with undefined to prevent host object references from leaking into the sandbox. However, the following methods pass through unsanitized values from the original V8 CallSite object:
getFileName()— returns host absolute paths like/app/node_modules/vm2/lib/vm.jsgetLineNumber(),getColumnNumber()— exact source locationsgetFunctionName(),getMethodName(),getTypeName()— internal function names
Two exploitation paths exist:
- Default
error.stack:new Error().stackincludes host frame paths in the formatted string - Custom
prepareStackTrace: Attacker can setError.prepareStackTraceto directly callgetFileName()on each CallSite, extracting a clean list of all host paths
PoC
Library-level PoC (Node.js script — primary):
HTTP demonstration:
Impact
- Information Disclosure: Host directory structure, library paths, framework versions, and internal architecture are exposed to sandboxed code.
- Attack Chain: Leaked paths enable precise targeting for other vulnerabilities.
- Scope: All applications using vm2. No special configuration required.

vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.0, vm2's CallSite wrapper class (intended as a safe wrapper for V8's native CallSite) blocks getThis() and getFunction() to prevent host object leakage, but allows getFileName() to return unsanitized host absolute paths. Any sandboxed code can extract the full directory structure, library paths, and framework versions of the host server. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.0.
