Two Critical Wasmtime Flaws Could Let Malicious WebAssembly Modules Escape Sandboxes

Two critical vulnerabilities in Wasmtime, a WebAssembly runtime, could permit malicious WebAssembly modules to escape their sandbox. One flaw affects ARM64 systems specifically. The Wasmtime project released patched versions to address the issues.

Why it matters: Organizations embedding Wasmtime in applications need to update immediately; a compromised or untrusted WebAssembly module could break isolation guarantees and potentially compromise host systems.
