How to fix?

Overview

deno_process is an implementation of subprocess APIs for Deno

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the process.loadEnvFile function. An attacker can modify environment variables without proper authorization by supplying a crafted or attacker-controlled .env file when only read permissions are granted. This is only exploitable if the .env file path can be controlled or modified by a less-trusted party and the application relies on restricted environment variable access enforced by permission flags.
