Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure in recursive fs.watch() and fs.promises.watch(), which check the kFileSystemRead permission only on the watched root and then forward every filename the native watcher reports to the callback. An attacker running code under --permission with a read grant on a directory can learn the names and timing of files and directories beneath it that the process is not permitted to read, such as sub/secret.txt. Only macOS and Windows are affected, and only for files created under the watched directory by another actor, and file contents are not exposed.
