CVSS 4.0: Remote With High Impact

POSThttps://api.deepinfo.com/v1/discovery/vulnerability-search

CVEs whose CVSS 4.0 vector starts with network access, no requirements and high impact on the vulnerable system.

Field: metrics.cvss_metric_v40.cvss_data.vector_string
Operator: startswith

metrics.cvss_metric_v40.cvss_data.vector_string is the CVSS vector: every metric of the score in one string, in the CVSS 4.0 metric (metrics.cvss_metric_v40, one entry per scoring source).

startswith matches values that begin with CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H.

In the response, look at results[].metrics.cvss_metric_v40[].cvss_data.vector_string.

          "value": "vm2 (npm) versions 3.12.0 and earlier contain a sandbox escape in `VM` and `NodeVM`. When an embedder exposes a host API that returns a host-realm Promise, the bridge's rejection sanitizer (hostPromiseSanitizeReject / makeSanitizedPromiseCallback / normalizeHostPromiseCallbacks in lib/bridge.js) only wraps `then`/`catch` rejection slots that hold a function, and the sandbox-side `Symbol.species`/`.then` neutralization is installed only on the sandbox intrinsic `Promise.prototype`, so it never applies to a host Promise. Code running inside the sandbox can overwrite `p.constructor[Symbol.species]` on the host Promise and then call `p.then()` with no `onRejected` handler; V8 substitutes its internal Thrower, which re-throws the raw host rejection value into a resolve/reject closure captured by the attacker. This delivers an unsanitized, fully functional bridge proxy of the host object to sandboxed code, bypassing handleException and hostPromiseSanitizeReject. If the rejection value is host-pivotable (for example a host `process` object), this results in arbitrary code execution on the host. Fixed in 3.12.1."

This allows a complete sandbox escape: untrusted script can reach `process` and execute arbitrary code/commands on the host (for example via `process.getBuiltinModule('child_process').execSync`). Exploitation requires that the embedding application expose at least one non-strict host function to the sandbox; strict-mode and ES module host functions are not affected."
