How to fix?

Upgrade deno to version 1.43.1 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 Improper Authorization due to improper handling of file-system operations on privileged files. An attacker can escalate permissions and access or modify system-level files by exploiting the lack of explicit deny flags in command-line arguments.
