# Security Policy
|
|
|
|
Thank you for taking the time to investigate the security of Deno. The security
|
|
of Deno is our topmost priority. We appreciate investigative work into system
|
|
security by well-intentioned, ethical security researchers. If you discover a
|
|
vulnerability, however small, we would like to know about it to address it with
|
|
appropriate measures as quickly as possible. This document outlines the method
|
|
we use to work with the security research community to address runtime security.
|
|
|
|
## Reporting a vulnerability
|
|
|
|
Please open a new
|
|
[Security advisory](https://github.com/denoland/deno/security/advisories/new)
|
|
with your findings. We strive to resolve all problems as quickly as possible,
|
|
and are more than happy to play an active role in publication of writeups after
|
|
the problem is resolved.
|
|
|
|
Try to include as much information as possible in the initial report, so we can
|
|
quickly address the issue.
|
|
|
|
**Please do not open security issues in the public issue tracker.**
|
|
|
|
### Please do the following
|
|
|
|
- Do not take advantage of the vulnerability or problem you have discovered.
|
|
- Do not publish or reveal the problem until it has been resolved.
|
|
- Do not use attacks on physical security or applications of third parties.
|
|
- Do provide sufficient information to reproduce the problem, so we will be able
|
|
to resolve it as quickly as possible. Usually, a list of steps to follow, and
|
|
the vulnerable Deno version is enough. More complex vulnerabilities may
|
|
require further explanation.
|
|
|
|
### Our commitment to you
|
|
|
|
- If you act in accordance with this policy, we will not take legal action
|
|
against you in regard to your report.
|
|
- We will handle your report with strict confidentiality, and not pass on your
|
|
personal details to third parties without your permission.
|
|
|
|
## Security Model
|
|
|
|
The following paragraphs outline the rough security model for Deno. The model
|
|
may change slightly over time, but in general the model is as follows:
|
|
|
|
- All JavaScript run in Deno is considered untrusted, so permissions are thus
|
|
never enforced in JavaScript.
|
|
- All JavaScript run in a single Deno process is considered to be part of the
|
|
same program and is not isolated from itself. This means that Deno does not
|
|
guarantee that values set by one JS module will be inaccessible to another, or
|
|
that a value set in one web worker can not be accessed by another.
|
|
- All runtime I/O is considered to be privileged and must always be guarded by a
|
|
runtime permission. This includes filesystem access, network access, etc.
|
|
- The only exception to this is runtime storage explosion attacks that are
|
|
isolated to a part of the file system, caused by evaluated code (for
|
|
example, caching big dependencies or no limits on runtime caches such as the
|
|
[Web Cache](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Cache) API).
|
|
- Users should not be able to self-escalate their permissions without explicit
|
|
consent.
|
|
- I/O required to build an initial static module graph should always follow the
|
|
permissions of its parent. If there is no parent, all permissions are granted.
|
|
As an example, this means that the initial static module graph that is
|
|
constructed when doing `deno run`, does not have any permission restrictions.
|
|
However, the module graph constructed as the result of loading a web worker or
|
|
dynamic import will be restricted to the permissions of the caller (the main
|
|
worker most likely).
|
|
- We consider the V8 VM to be a secure sandbox.
