Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The versions of Deno between release 1.18.0 and 1.20.2 (inclusive) are vulnerable to an attack where a malicious actor controlling the code executed in a Deno runtime could bypass permission checks and execute arbitrary shell code.
There is **no** evidence that this vulnerability has been exploited in the wild.
This vulnerability does **not** affect users of Deno Deploy.
### Patches
The vulnerability has been patched in Deno 1.20.3.
### Workarounds
There is no workaround. All users are recommended to upgrade to 1.20.3 immediately
