CVE-2023-28445

9.9 · CRITICAL
Published Mar 24, 2023 deno CWE-125 EPSS 0.97% (59th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2023-28445 is a critical-severity vulnerability affecting deno deno. It was published on March 24, 2023 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.9 (CRITICAL).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.9, rated CRITICAL. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

Deno is a runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript that uses V8 and is built in Rust. Resizable ArrayBuffers passed to asynchronous functions that are shrunk during the asynchronous operation could result in an out-of-bound read/write. It is unlikely that this has been exploited in the wild, as the only version affected is Deno 1.32.0. Deno Deploy users are not affected. The problem has been resolved by disabling resizable ArrayBuffers temporarily in Deno 1.32.1. Deno 1.32.2 will re-enable resizable ArrayBuffers with a proper fix. As a workaround, run with `--v8-flags=--no-harmony-rab-gsab` to disable resizable ArrayBuffers.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from deno. Update deno to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
