CVE-2026-22864
Deno has an incomplete fix for command-injection prevention on Windows — case-insensitive extension bypass
Severity by source
Trivy's own label is CRITICAL. Rated critical by NVD, Julia. Rated lower by GHSA (high).
Description
Deno is a JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly runtime. Before 2.5.6, 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.). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.5.6.
