Affected packages
• crates.io deno: < 2.8.1 → fixed in 2.8.1
Description
Summary
When `fetch()` was called, Deno checked the destination hostname against
`--deny-net` rules but did not re-check the IP addresses that hostname
resolved to. An attacker-controlled script could use a specially crafted domain
name that passes the hostname check yet resolves to a denied IP, bypassing the
network restriction entirely.
Impact
Code running under `--deny-net` could reach hosts that the user intended to
block. In practice this means network isolation rules — for example, blocking
access to `localhost` or internal services — could be silently circumvented by
a malicious or compromised dependency.
A companion advisory covers the same class of issue in the WebSocket API.
Who is affected
Users who:
• run untrusted or third-party code with `deno run`, and
• rely on `--deny-net` to restrict which hosts that code can reach.
If you do not use `--deny-net`, or if you only run fully trusted code, you are
not affected.
Workaround
No workaround is available short of upgrading. If upgrading immediately is not
possible, avoid granting `--allow-net` to untrusted code that also has
`--deny-net` restrictions you depend on for security.
Fix
The `fetch()` DNS resolver now performs a post-resolution check on every IP
address before passing it to the HTTP connector, consistent with how
`Deno.connect` already behaved.
