Critical vm2 sandbox bug lets attackers execute code on hosts

A critical vulnerability in the popular Node.js sandboxing library vm2 allows escaping the sandbox and executing arbitrary code on the host system.

BleepingComputer

The vm2 JavaScript sandbox is once again at the center of critical security advisories, with new flaws reaching CVSS 10.0. Despite its widespread adoption, vm2 consistently fails to prevent untrusted JavaScript from executing arbitrary code on host systems. This recurring pattern suggests a deeper architectural issue, not just isolated bugs. Immediate patching is crucial, but the long-term implications…

The #Sega #Dreamcast #VMUPro just went live for pre-orders on #8BitMods website.

I secured a smoke black one.

It ships in October and with 8 day Royal Mail came to $97.00 here in the states.

This thing seems so cool and its features appeal to me more than the #VM2 that was released by Dreamware.

Finally got around to swapping the buttons on my VM2 with the ones from my original SEGA VMU. They really feel so much nicer, and I prefer the color of the original buttons too.

Lets Goooooooooooo!

Almost a year and a half ago (!!!!) I ordered the #VM2, a next generation #VMU for the #Sega #Dreamcast!

The device, made by Dreamware Enterprises, has finally made its way to my doorstep!

Unfortunately this afternoon is completely booked. 😔

Hopefully I'll get some time to tinker around with it later tonight.

Chao Adventure is a lot more fun when you don't have to worry about replacing the batteries

@SuperSelena64 Been waiting on the #VM2 for so long...

I should be included in the next shipment or two. I can't wait!

The wait is agonizing!

Another batch of the #VM2 have shipped out.

I was really hoping that I would have mine by Christmas but at this rate it like it will be February or March.

My order number is 17xx and other than the first shipment they are steadily shipping only 200-ish a month.

The anticipation is brutal but I just need to be patient. Mine will ship eventually.
