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 email findings to engineering@deno.com. 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 email, 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 +- Do not publish or reveal the problem until it has been resolved.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. +- 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.
