§ 8.01-632.How surety in forthcoming bond may obtain additional security.

A surety who backs a forthcoming bond takes on real exposure if the bond is ever called. This section gives that surety — or, if the surety has died, the surety’s personal representative — a way to protect that position by asking the court for other or additional security.

The procedure borrows directly from existing injunction practice: the surety moves for and obtains the order the same manner as the defendant in an injunction would. Rather than inventing a separate process, the statute plugs the surety into the toolkit the injunction defendant already has, letting the surety shore up its protection mid-case without creating a new bond obligation for the enjoined party itself.
