Upgrade deno to version 1.29.3 or higher.
Overview
deno is an a simple, modern and secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript that uses V8 and is built in Rust.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass that allows attackers to spoof an interactive permission prompt using a multi-threaded program, by rewriting the prompt to suggest that program is waiting for user confirmation for an unrelated action.
NOTE: This is only exploitable if the Web Worker API is in use with an interactive permission prompt. Such an attack is very timing sensitive and can’t be reliably reproduced on every try.
Workaround
This can be avoided by enabling the --no-prompt flag.
