CVE-2025-61786: Deno's --deny-read check does not prevent permission bypass

October 8, 2025

Deno.FsFile.prototype.stat and Deno.FsFile.prototype.statSync are not limited by the permission model check --deny-read=./.

It’s possible to retrieve stats from files that the user do not have explicit read access to (the script is executed with --deny-read=./)

Similar APIs like Deno.stat and Deno.statSync require allow-read permission, however, when a file is opened, even with file-write only flags and deny-read permission, it’s still possible to retrieve file stats, and thus bypass the permission model.
