{"id":"JLSEC-2026-113","summary":"Deno is Vulnerable to Command Injection on Windows During Batch File Execution","details":"### Summary\n\nDeno versions up to 2.5.1 are vulnerable to Command Line Injection attacks on Windows when batch files are executed.\n\n### Details\n\nIn Windows, `CreateProcess()` always implicitly spawns `cmd.exe` if a batch file (.bat, .cmd, etc.) is being executed even if the application does not specify it via the command line. This makes Deno vulnerable to a command injection attack on Windows as demonstrated by the two proves-of-concept below.\n\n### PoC\n\nUsing `node:child_process` (with the `env` and `run` permissions):\n\n```JS\nconst { spawn } = require('node:child_process');\nconst child = spawn('./test.bat', ['&calc.exe']);\n```\n\nUsing `Deno.Command.spawn()` (with the `run` permission):\n\n```JS\nconst command = new Deno.Command('./test.bat', {\n  args: ['&calc.exe'],\n});\nconst child = command.spawn();\n```\n\n### Impact\n\nBoth of these scripts result in opening calc.exe on Windows, thus allowing a Command Line Injection attack when user-provided arguments are passed if the script being executed by the child process is a batch script.","modified":"2026-07-18T00:01:28.473292760Z","published":"2026-04-14T13:10:46.494Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-61787","GHSA-m2gf-x3f6-8hq3","EUVD-2025-33179"],"database_specific":{"license":"CC-BY-4.0","sources":[{"database_specific":{"status":"Analyzed"},"id":"CVE-2025-61787","imported":"2026-07-17T21:10:26.814Z","modified":"2026-06-17T09:50:54.167Z","published":"2025-10-08T02:15:41.897Z","url":"https://services.nvd.nist.gov/rest/json/cves/2.0?cveId=CVE-2025-61787","html_url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-61787"},{"imported":"2026-07-17T21:10:26.973Z","modified":"2025-10-08T18:16:25Z","published":"2025-10-08T18:16:24Z","url":"https://api.github.com/advisories/GHSA-m2gf-x3f6-8hq3","html_url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-m2gf-x3f6-8hq3","id":"GHSA-m2gf-x3f6-8hq3"},{"published":"2025-10-08T00:59:17Z","url":"https://euvdservices.enisa.europa.eu/api/enisaid?id=EUVD-2025-33179","html_url":"https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/vulnerability/EUVD-2025-33179","id":"EUVD-2025-33179","imported":"2026-07-17T21:10:36.871Z","modified":"2025-10-08T18:51:09Z"}]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-m2gf-x3f6-8hq3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/denoland/deno/commit/8a0990ccd37bafd8768176ca64b906ba2da2d822"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/30818"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/denoland/deno/releases/tag/v2.2.15"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/denoland/deno/releases/tag/v2.5.2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/denoland/deno/releases/tag/v2.5.3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/denoland/deno/security/advisories/GHSA-m2gf-x3f6-8hq3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-61787"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"Deno_jll","ecosystem":"Julia","purl":"pkg:julia/Deno_jll?uuid=04572ae6-984a-583e-9378-9577a1c2574d"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.6.3+0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/JuliaLang/SecurityAdvisories.jl/tree/generated/osv/2026/JLSEC-2026-113.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}],"credits":[{"name":"R4356th","contact":["https://github.com/R4356th"],"type":"REPORTER"}]}
