CVE-2026-24120
Prior to version 3.10.5, the fix for CVE-2023-37466 is insufficient and can be circumvented allowing attackers to write code which can escape from the VM2 sandbox and execute arbitrary commands on the host system.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.90%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
