vm2 exposes host HTTPS credentials through globalAgent

vm2 3.11.6 exposes the host process's https.globalAgent when NodeVM is allowed to require https, allowing sandbox code to intercept host HTTPS credentials, TLS traffic, and request options through event listeners on the shared agent object.

Impact

Sandbox code can read host HTTPS bearer tokens, observe decrypted TLS traffic, learn private service hosts and ports, and send authenticated requests using stolen credentials to host services.
