Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Command injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-22864)

CWE-ID: CWE-77 - Command injection

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of special elements used in a command in the Deno.Command spawn path on Windows when checking spawned file extensions for batch or shell files. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted batch or command file path with alternate extension casing and user-controlled arguments to execute arbitrary commands.

The issue affects Windows because the extension check can be bypassed with case-insensitive variants such as .BAT or .Bat.
