CVE-2022-24783
The versions of Deno between release 1.18.0 and 1.20.2 (inclusive) are vulnerable to an attack where a malicious actor controlling the code executed in a Deno runtime could bypass all permission checks and execute arbitrary shell code.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.15%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
