Disclosure summary

### Summary NodeVM exposes the host `util` module to the sandbox through an unfiltered shallow copy (`Object.assign({}, util)`). On Node.js >= 22.9 this hands sandboxed code `util.getCallSites()`, a programmatic stack-introspection API that returns the host process's full call stack — absolute file paths, function names, and line numbers — including vm2 bridge internals and the embedding application's entrypoint. This bypasses the host-frame redaction established in GHSA-v27g-jcqj-v8rw, which only covers the `Error.prepareStackTrace` channel. ### Details - Root cause — `defaultBuiltinLoaderUtil` copies every static member of the host `util` module and wraps the copy in `vm.readonly()` without filtering any member, so newly added Node APIs land in the sandbox automatically: https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/blob/7a1f5100b96f48d34e0fe104ab37c0acc5944f92/lib/builtin.js#L25-L38 - Second equivalent channel — the deprecated `sys` builtin (an alias of host `util`) goes through the generic builtin loader `vm.readonly(hostRequire(key))`, which also carries `getCallSites`: https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/blob/7a1f5100b96f48d34e0fe104ab37c0acc5944f92/lib/builtin.js#L230 - Bypassed protect
