Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
OneUptime is an open-source monitoring and observability platform. Prior to 10.0.98, OneUptime uses the Node.js' vm module as an isolation primitive. This API was not designed for that and can be escaped via error objects and infinite recursion. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.0.98.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

OneUptime versions prior to 10.0.98 incorrectly use Node.js' vm module as a security isolation primitive. The vm module was not designed for sandboxing and can be escaped via manipulation of error objects or triggering infinite recursion, allowing attackers to break out of the intended isolation and potentially execute arbitrary code.

MitigationUpgrade OneUptime to version 10.0.98 or later. Additionally, review any custom code using the vm module and replace with proper sandboxing mechanisms such as containers, VMs, or security-focused sandbox libraries if the upgrade does not fully address the architectural misuse.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed OneUptime version
    Check the package.json file or run 'npm list oneuptime' or check the version displayed in the OneUptime admin interface
    Affected if Version is lower than 10.0.98 (e.g., 10.0.97, 10.0.0, etc.)
  2. Locate vm module usage in codebase
    Search source code for 'require('vm')' or 'import { vm }' statements, and review any files that import or use the vm module
    Affected if The vm module is imported and used in the codebase
  3. Determine if vm is used for sandboxing
    Review files using vm module to check if vm.runInNewContext, vm.createContext, or similar functions are called to isolate untrusted code
    Affected if vm functions are used to create isolated contexts for executing code (vm.runInNewContext, vm.createContext, etc.)
  4. Check for error object manipulation vectors
    Review any custom code handling vm errors or exceptions that could be manipulated to escape the vm sandbox
    Affected if Custom error handling exists around vm-isolated code execution

You are affected if your OneUptime version is prior to 10.0.98 AND your installation uses the Node.js vm module to isolate or sandbox untrusted code execution.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade OneUptime to version 10.0.98 or later. Additionally, review any custom code using the vm module and replace with proper sandboxing mechanisms such as containers, VMs, or security-focused sandbox libraries if the upgrade does not fully address the architectural misuse.

Recommended fix High confidence

10.0.98

  1. 1. Backup your current OneUptime installation and database.
  2. 2. Check your current OneUptime version to confirm it is prior to 10.0.98.
  3. 3. Consult the official OneUptime upgrade documentation for your deployment method (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.).
  4. 4. Upgrade OneUptime to version 10.0.98 or later.
  5. 5. After upgrading, verify the Node.js vm module is no longer used for security isolation in your deployment.
  6. 6. Test that the monitoring and observability functionality works correctly after the upgrade.
Caveat Review release notes for 10.0.98 to check for any breaking changes or required migration steps before upgrading.
