Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2024-27936 is a high-severity Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences (CWE-150) vulnerability in Deno Deno. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Content Injection (T1659); ranked in the top 42% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
Deno is a JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly runtime with secure defaults. Starting in version 1.32.1 and prior to version 1.41.0 of the deno library, maliciously crafted permission request can show the spoofed permission prompt by inserting a broken ANSI escape…

sequence into the request contents. Deno is stripping any ANSI escape sequences from the permission prompt, but permissions given to the program are based on the contents that contain the ANSI escape sequences. Any Deno program can spoof the content of the interactive permission prompt by inserting a broken ANSI code, which allows a malicious Deno program to display the wrong file path or program name to the user. Version 1.41.0 of the deno library contains a patch for the issue.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
SI-10 requires validation/sanitization of inputs that directly stops escape/meta/control sequences from reaching downstream components.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly require input neutralization and escaping to prevent this class of flaw.

Security testing can detect the weakness but does not itself implement neutralization.
Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly neutralizes escape/meta sequences.
Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection and malformed input sequences.
Secure architecture principles reduce attack surface but do not prescribe specific neutralization techniques.
Secure coding standards require proper escaping and neutralization of control characters before downstream processing.
