DescriptionNVD

Deno is a JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly runtime with secure defaults. By using ANSI escape sequences and a race between libc::tcflush(0, libc::TCIFLUSH) and reading standard input, it's possible to manipulate the permission prompt and force it to allow an unsafe action regardless of the user input. Some ANSI escape sequences act as a info request to the master terminal emulator and the terminal emulator sends back the reply in the PTY channel. standard streams also use this channel to send and get data. For example the \033[6n sequence requests the current cursor position. These sequences allow us to append data to the standard input of Deno. This vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass Deno permission policy. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.42.2.

AnalysisAI

Deno is a JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly runtime with secure defaults. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.4), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is classified as OS Command Injection (CWE-78), which allows attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the host. Deno is a JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly runtime with secure defaults.

This vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass Deno permission policy. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.42.2. Affected products include: Deno.

RemediationAI

No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Avoid passing user input to shell commands. Use language-specific APIs instead of shell execution. Apply strict input validation with allowlists.
