Deno has an incomplete fix for command-injection prevention on Windows — case-insensitive extension bypass

Advisory ansehen veröffentlicht 2026-01-16Lizenz: CC-BY-4.0

### Summary A prior patch aimed to block spawning Windows batch/shell files by returning an error when a spawned path’s extension matched `.bat` or `.cmd`. That check performs a case-sensitive comparison against lowercase literals and therefore can be bypassed when the extension uses alternate casing (for example `.BAT, .Bat`, etc.). ### POC ```javascript const command = new Deno.Command('./test.BAT', { args: ['&calc.exe'], }); const child = command.spawn(); ``` This causes `calc.exe` to be launched; see the attached screenshot for evidence. **Patched in `CVE-2025-61787` — prevents execution of `.bat` and `.cmd` files:** ![photo_2025-10-10 02 27 23](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/43df25e2-e2e1-48aa-8060-cb0a22637f1f) **Bypass of the patched vulnerability:** ![photo_2025-10-10 02 27 25](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2be1afb4-84a1-4883-8e18-6a174fdd3615) ### Impact The script launches calc.exe on Windows, demonstrating that passing user-controlled arguments to a spawned batch script can result in command-line injection. ### Mitigation Users should update to Deno v2.5.6 or newer.
