Deno is a JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly runtime. Prior to versions 2.1.13 and 2.2.13, the Deno.env.toObject
method ignores any variables listed in the --deny-env
option of the deno run
command. When looking at the documentation of the --deny-env
option this might lead to a false impression that variables listed in the option are impossible to read. Software relying on the combination of both flags to allow access to most environment variables except a few sensitive ones will be vulnerable to malicious code trying to steal secrets using the Deno.env.toObject()
method. Versions 2.1.13 and 2.2.13 contains a patch.
The code transmits data to another actor, but a portion of the data includes sensitive information that should not be accessible to that actor.
