LGTM — the two-line toThis(…, ECMAMode::strict()) normalization is the standard JSC idiom for this, and both new tests assert the exact value semantics that fail on the unfixed build. The inline nit about sibling frame.this() sites in FakeTimers.rs / BunPlugin.cpp is a scope-of-fix suggestion, not a regression introduced here, and doesn't block.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Two production lines changed in src/jsc/bindings/JSMockFunction.cpp: jsMockFunctionCall and JSMock__jsSetSystemTime now pass callframe->thisValue() through .toThis(globalObject, ECMAMode::strict()) before using it. Two tests added — one in mock-fn.test.js forcing a closed-over binding so the raw receiver is a JSLexicalEnvironment, one in test-timers.test.ts covering both jest.setSystemTime() (receiver preserved) and bare imported setSystemTime() (module scope → undefined).
Security risks
None. This is test-runner-only surface (bun:test). The fix removes a way for user code to obtain a JSC-internal scope object and dereference TDZ slots through it, which was the fuzzer crash.
Level of scrutiny
Low-to-medium. The change is a textbook JSC pattern: native host functions that expose or forward thisValue must normalize it via toThis, since JSC passes the resolving scope object as the raw receiver for calls through environment-record bindings. In strict mode toThis maps any JSScope to undefined and is otherwise the identity (including on primitives), so obj.fn(), fn.call(x), and construct calls are unaffected — matching what the existing .call/.apply/.bind and "passes this value" tests in the same file already assert. Strict-mode toThis cannot throw (no boxing, no user-code entry), so the absence of a RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION after either new call is correct; JSMock__jsSetSystemTime has no throw scope and doesn't need one.
Other factors
The one finding is a nit about sibling raw-thisValue() sites on the same jest object (seven Ok(frame.this()) returns in FakeTimers.rs) and three in BunPlugin.cpp. Those are pre-existing and unchanged by this PR; extending the fix there is a reasonable follow-up but not a merge blocker. The added import { expect, jest, setSystemTime, test } in test-timers.test.ts is needed so the bare setSystemTime binding resolves through the module environment, which is exactly the case under test. PR description documents the mechanism, cites the JSC bytecode emitter path, and confirms the tests fail on the release build with [native code: JSLexicalEnvironment] / [native code: JSModuleEnvironment].

LGTM — the sibling sites flagged in the previous round (seven FakeTimers.rs host functions and three BunPlugin.cpp builder methods) are now covered via the new to_this_strict wrapper, each with a test that fails on the unfixed build, and the doc comment was trimmed. The remaining inline note about the webcore/webcrypto [util.inspect.custom] fallthrough sites is pre-existing and out of this PR's subsystem; a follow-up (or a description note) is fine.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Normalizes the raw callframe->thisValue() to toThis(globalObject, ECMAMode::strict()) at every site that hands the receiver back to user code without first downcasting it: jsMockFunctionCall (recorded in mock.contexts and returned by mockReturnThis), JSMock__jsSetSystemTime, the three plugin builder chainable methods in BunPlugin.cpp, and the seven fake-timer host functions in FakeTimers.rs. The Rust sites go through a new 4-line JSValue::to_this_strict wrapping a new [[ZIG_EXPORT(nothrow)]] Bun__JSValue__toThisStrict in bindings.cpp. Three new tests exercise the closed-over-binding path and the method-call path for each cluster.
Security risks
None. The change strictly narrows what native code returns to script (JSC-internal JSScope objects become undefined), closing a fuzzer-found path to a null-cell deref. No auth, crypto, or filesystem surface.
Level of scrutiny
Medium. Twelve one-token edits at return sites plus a thin FFI shim. toThis in strict mode is nothrow (scope objects → undefined, everything else — plain objects, the JSGlobalProxy, primitives, newTarget in the construct case — passes through unchanged), so the nothrow export annotation is correct and no new RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION is needed. I checked that jest.useFakeTimers()/jest.setSystemTime()/builder.onLoad(...) still return their receiver (covered by the new tests and by the existing expect(chainedThis).toBe(builder) in plugins.test.ts), and that the existing fn.call(123) tests in mock-fn.test.js are unaffected since strict toThis leaves primitives untouched.
Other factors
This is my second pass. The first pass flagged ten uncovered sibling sites and a long doc comment; both were fixed in follow-up commits and the inline thread is resolved. The one new finding this run — the ~16 webcore/webcrypto [Symbol.for("nodejs.util.inspect.custom")] functions that return the raw receiver on downcast failure — is real but pre-existing, lives in a separate subsystem, and is correctly rated a nit; it does not block merge. The new tests are placed in the existing test files, use the closure-over-const pattern to force a scope-object receiver, restore real timers in finally, and register the plugin handlers under an unused namespace so they don't affect later tests.
|
Took the inspect.custom sites as well rather than leaving them for a follow-up (abca32d): the same one line change in each of the 16 functions, plus one test in inspect.test.js that calls each of them bare and fails on the current build for all 16. Ordinary wrong receivers are still returned unchanged, so the existing wrong-receiver test in custom-inspect.test.js still passes. DiffieHellmanFunctions.h is now listed in the description with the ECDH sites since it throws on a bad receiver. |

LGTM — both earlier review rounds are addressed (the seven FakeTimers.rs siblings, three BunPlugin.cpp sites, and now the 16 inspect.custom sites), each with a test that fails on the current build.
What was reviewed:
toThis(strict)is identity for ordinary receivers and never throws, sojest.useFakeTimers()/builder.onLoad(...)chaining and the inspect.custom wrong-receiver fallback are unchanged; thenothrowonBun__JSValue__toThisStrictmatches existing usage at JSBuffer.cpp:367/2843.dynamicDowncast<T>(undefined)is null-safe, so normalizing before the downcast in the inspect.custom functions is fine.- In
jsMockFunctionCallthe normalizedthisValuealso flows to the implementation call andmock.instances; a JS implementation would already have normalized viaop_to_this, andnew fn()'s receiver is a plain object so it passes through unchanged. - The excluded return-this sites (ECDH, DiffieHellman, Rust class methods) throw on a non-instance receiver before returning, so a scope object cannot reach them.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Normalizes the raw callframe->thisValue() with toThis(globalObject, ECMAMode::strict()) at every native site that returns or records its receiver without first validating it: jsMockFunctionCall, JSMock__jsSetSystemTime, the seven fake-timer host functions in FakeTimers.rs (via a new JSValue::to_this_strict wrapper over a new Bun__JSValue__toThisStrict FFI export), the three plugin builder functions in BunPlugin.cpp, and the 16 [util.inspect.custom] functions in webcore/ and webcrypto/. Four test files gain coverage that fails on the current release build.
Security risks
None. The change removes an exposure (a JSC-internal JSLexicalEnvironment/JSModuleEnvironment handed to user code, whose TDZ slots read as empty JSValues → null-cell deref). toThis in strict mode is a pure classification (scope → undefined, everything else identity) with no allocation, coercion, or user-code entry.
Level of scrutiny
Medium. 25 files is broad, but 21 of them receive the identical one-line change and the remaining four are a 3-line FFI wrapper and tests. The pattern already exists verbatim in the codebase (JSBuffer.cpp:367, JSBuffer.cpp:2843 — toThis(strict) immediately followed by dynamicDowncast with no exception check), confirming both the idiom and the nothrow annotation. The webcrypto/streams touch is confined to the inspect.custom failure branch, which by construction only fires on a wrong receiver.
Other factors
This is the third review round; both earlier rounds asked for sibling-site coverage and both were fully addressed with code and tests. The github-actions doc-comment length note was also addressed (the to_this_strict doc comment is one line). The bug hunting system found nothing on the current head. Tests are added to existing files per repo convention, cover both the positive (jest.useFakeTimers() still returns jest; inspectURL.call(new URL(...)) still works) and negative (bare closed-over calls return undefined) contracts, and the PR description enumerates the intentionally-excluded sites with the reason.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
LGTM — the earlier review rounds' feedback (FakeTimers/BunPlugin siblings, the 16 inspect.custom sites, the doc-comment length, and the plugin builder method-call assertions) is all addressed.
On CodeRabbit's remaining note about editing generated files: the webcore/streams/ files carry no generated-file header and are hand-written; JSDOMURL.cpp/JSURLSearchParams.cpp/JSCryptoKey.cpp have a vestigial WebKit generate-bindings.pl banner, but there is no such generator in this repo, no URLSearchParams.idl/DOMURL.idl, and the _inspectCustom functions themselves were hand-added Bun extensions. These files are routinely hand-edited here, so that concern doesn't apply.
Checked that strict-mode toThis is the same idiom already used without an exception check in JSBuffer.cpp and JSDOMOperation.h, and that the new Bun__JSValue__toThisStrict is correctly nothrow (strict mode never boxes primitives). Also confirmed jsMockFunctionCall normalizes thisValue before it is stored in mock.contexts or passed to the implementation.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Fuzzer-found fix for a JSC-internal-object leak: native host functions that read callframe->thisValue() raw and return it (or store it in mock.contexts) can hand a JSLexicalEnvironment/JSModuleEnvironment to script when called through a closed-over binding, which lets user code reach TDZ slots and trip a null-cell deref / PropertyDescriptor::setDescriptor assertion. The fix appends .toThis(globalObject, ECMAMode::strict()) at 27 sites across JSMockFunction.cpp (2), BunPlugin.cpp (3), FakeTimers.rs (7, via a new JSValue::to_this_strict wrapper over a new Bun__JSValue__toThisStrict FFI export), and 16 [util.inspect.custom] functions in webcore/ and webcrypto/. Four test files gain coverage for both the bare-call (→ undefined) and method-call (→ receiver) cases.
Security risks
None. This narrows what native functions hand back to JS (scope objects → undefined); no auth, crypto, permissions, or untrusted-input parsing is touched. The pre-existing behavior was the unsafe one.
Level of scrutiny
Medium. Each change is a one-line application of the standard JSC receiver-normalization idiom already used in JSBuffer.cpp:367/2843, JSDOMOperation.h:43, and JSEventTargetCustom.h:75 — none of which follow it with an exception check, because strict-mode toThis maps scope objects to undefined and returns everything else unchanged without running user code or allocating. The new FFI export is correctly annotated [[ZIG_EXPORT(nothrow)]] for the same reason. The breadth (25 files) is entirely from applying the same one-liner to every sibling site, which two earlier review rounds explicitly asked for.
Other factors
- All prior feedback is resolved: my two rounds (FakeTimers/BunPlugin siblings, then the 16 inspect.custom sites), the comment-cop doc-comment length note, and CodeRabbit's request for method-call assertions in the plugin test (ea94f64).
- CodeRabbit's unresolved "generated files" comment is a false positive: no
generate-bindings.plexists in the repo, noURLSearchParams.idl/DOMURL.idlexist, thewebcore/streams/files have no generated-file header at all, and the_inspectCustomfunctions being edited are hand-written Bun additions in the first place. - Verified
jsMockFunctionCallnormalizesthisValuebefore it flows intomock.contexts, the result object, or the implementation call; there is noNAPICallFramein that file, so the ruled-out finder concern about native addons does not apply. - Tests assert both directions (bare call →
undefined;obj.fn()/.call()→ receiver preserved) for each cluster, and the inspect.custom test also asserts a correct-receiver call still produces real output, guarding against an over-eager "always return undefined" regression.
… fs.Stats, Node-API and V8 callbacks (#39525) ### Problem - When JS calls a function with no receiver through a binding that a closure captures (or a module binding), the callee's this slot holds the scope object that the binding was resolved through. This is the normal shape of `const { x } = require(...)` followed by `x()` inside any function. JS callees convert that slot in `op_to_this`; host functions read it raw. The native functions changed in this PR use their receiver generically and so act on the scope object: - `NodeError_proto_toString` (`src/jsc/bindings/ErrorCode.cpp:55`) reads `name`/`code`/`message` through it. A binding in the scope that is still in its TDZ reads back as the empty `JSValue`, and the process dies with `panic(main thread): Segmentation fault at address 0x5`. Without a TDZ binding it returns `"undefined [undefined]: undefined"`. Node throws a `TypeError`. - `fs.Stats` / `BigIntStats` `isFile()` and the other mode methods (`src/jsc/bindings/NodeFSStatBinding.cpp:142`) read `mode` through it: the same segfault with a TDZ `mode` binding, otherwise a bogus `false` (or a `TypeError` from `toBigInt64` for the BigInt variant). The `atime`/`mtime`/`ctime`/`birthtime` accessors in the same file (`getDateField`, `DatePutter`) have the same shape once their getter is pulled out of the property descriptor: JSC's `JSCustomGetterFunction` wrapper also passes the slot through raw, so a bare call segfaults on a TDZ `atimeMs` binding and otherwise returns an Invalid Date. - `StringDecoder(...)` called without `new` (`src/jsc/bindings/JSStringDecoder.cpp:596`) treats it as the body-parser style receiver: it writes the decoder state onto it and returns it, so the caller gets `[native code: JSLexicalEnvironment]` instead of a decoder. The same code also ran `asObject()` on the slot before checking that it holds an object, which aborts debug builds for `StringDecoder.call(undefined, enc)`. - `NAPICallFrame` (`src/jsc/bindings/napi.h:986`) and the V8 shim's `FunctionTemplate::functionCall` and `invokeAccessor` (`src/jsc/bindings/v8/shim/FunctionTemplate.cpp:151`, `shim/TemplateProperty.cpp:64`) emulate a sloppy-mode receiver by hand: undefined/null become globalThis, everything else goes through `toObject()`. A scope object is already an object, so the addon receives it as `this_arg` / `info.This()` / `HolderV2()`. Node gives it globalThis. - All of the above reproduce on the current release build (repros in the details block). - Root cause: `FunctionCallResolveNode::emitBytecode` (JavaScriptCore bytecompiler) stores the resolve-scope result in the this register and leaves the conversion to the callee. Converting `JSScope` receivers once, where JSC enters a host function, would retire the whole class; that is a change to the WebKit fork. Until then the fix is the one JSC's own host functions use: call `JSValue::toThis` before using the receiver generically. Bun already does this in `JSBuffer.cpp`, `JSDOMOperation.h` and `JSEventTargetCustom.h`. ### Fix - `NodeError_proto_toString`, the Stats mode methods and date accessors, and the `StringDecoder` constructor convert the receiver with `toThis(globalObject, ECMAMode::strict())` first. Strict `toThis` maps scope objects to `undefined` and returns every other value unchanged, so `err.toString()`, `stats.isFile()`, `stats.atime`, `StringDecoder.call(obj, enc)` and `new StringDecoder()` are unaffected. The scope receiver then takes the path an undefined receiver already took: `toString()` throws the `TypeError` Node throws, `isFile()` and the date getters return `undefined` like they do for `.call(undefined)`, and `StringDecoder()` returns a fresh decoder. The Stats accessors only ever live on the two Stats prototypes, never on the global object, so no legitimate property access can hand them a scope receiver. - The `StringDecoder` condition compares the converted receiver as a `JSValue` instead of calling `asObject()` on the slot. On a construct call the slot holds `new.target`, which is always a constructor object, so construct calls select the same branch as before. - `NAPICallFrame`, `FunctionTemplate::functionCall` and `invokeAccessor` replace the hand-rolled logic with `toThis(globalObject, ECMAMode::sloppy())`, which is the engine's definition of a sloppy receiver: undefined, null and scope objects become globalThis, primitives are boxed, other objects pass through. This is what the old code computed for every input except scope objects, and it is what Node hands addons. Every Node-API callable (`napi_create_function`, class constructors, methods, accessors) is a `NapiClass` that builds its frame through this one constructor. Sloppy `toThis` has no throwing path, so the existing `assertNoException()` still holds. - Verified with the debug build. Each new test fails on the release build as described: - `test/js/node/errors/error-code-toString-receiver.test.ts`: bare call throws (release: returns the garbage string), TDZ variant in a child exits 0 (release: exit 139). - `test/js/node/fs/fs-stats-constructor.test.ts`: bare `isFile()` / BigInt `isDirectory()` return `undefined` (release: `false` / `TypeError`), the extracted `atime` / BigInt `mtime` getters return `undefined` (release: Invalid Date), TDZ variant in a child exits 0 (release: exit 139). The `DatePutter` hunk has no test of its own: a setter called on a scope object only wrote onto that object, which JS cannot observe. - `test/js/node/string_decoder/string-decoder.test.js`: captured bare call returns a decoder (release: `[native code: JSLexicalEnvironment]`), explicit object receiver still initialized, undefined/primitive receivers in a child (unfixed debug build: SIGABRT in `asObject`). - `test/napi/napi.test.ts` (new `return_this` helper in the test addon) and `test/v8/v8.test.ts` (existing `return_this`): output compared against node; release prints `false` for the closure line where node prints `true`, the `call(undefined)` / `call(5)` / `call(receiver)` lines already matched. - `test/v8/v8.test.ts` accessor coverage (new `create_object_with_holder_accessor` fixture): property access compared against node, plus a Bun-only test that calls the getter and setter functions with bare, undefined, null, primitive and object receivers. Release differs only on the two bare-call lines. - Full `napi.test.ts` (175 pass) and `v8.test.ts` (77 pass, 1 pre-existing skip), the js-native-api suites for functions, callbacks, constructors, object wrap, properties and new.target, node's `test-fs-stat*` and `test-string-decoder*`, and the existing string_decoder, stats and error-code tests all pass. - Known sites of the same shape that this PR leaves alone: - `import.meta.resolve` / `resolveSync` (`ImportMetaObject.cpp`): a bare call already throws "must be bound to an import.meta object"; Node resolves it, because its function is bound to the module. That needs a per-module bound function (see #32248), not `toThis`. - `NodeVMScript` methods and other typed-receiver sites report the bad receiver as `Received [native code: JSLexicalEnvironment]` in the error message. Cosmetic, no crash. - Other custom accessors reached through `Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(...).get` get the raw receiver from JSC's `JSCustomGetterFunction` wrapper in the same way. The Stats ones are fixed here because they are in a file this PR already changes; the general fix is in the wrapper, which lives in the WebKit fork and covers every custom accessor at once. Note that `toThis` is not safe to add blindly to a custom accessor that can be installed on the global object, because a bare identifier read resolves on the global object itself, which is also a `JSScope`. - Relation to the other open PRs for this root cause: #39207 fixes the chaining functions and the `inspect.custom` fallbacks, #39509 the mock functions and `createInvalidThisError`. This PR shares no file with #39207 and touches a different function of `ErrorCode.cpp` than #39509, so the three merge in any order. #32172 was the first attempt; every hunk in it is now in one of these three, and it no longer merges, so it is closed in favor of them. ### Background - **this slot / `op_to_this`**: every call frame has a slot for the receiver. For `f()` where `f` lives in a scope rather than a local register, JSC stores the scope object it resolved `f` through in that slot and JS function prologues run `op_to_this`, which turns it into `undefined` (strict code) or globalThis (sloppy code). Native functions read the slot directly via `callFrame->thisValue()`. - **`JSValue::toThis(globalObject, ECMAMode)`**: the runtime form of that conversion. Any object inheriting `JSScope` (`JSLexicalEnvironment` for closures, `JSModuleEnvironment` for ES modules, the global object itself) becomes `undefined` in strict mode or globalThis in sloppy mode. Strict mode returns every other value as is. Sloppy mode also turns undefined/null into globalThis and boxes primitives. - **Scope objects and the TDZ**: property reads on a scope object go through its symbol table and return the raw variable slot. A `let`/`const` that is not initialized yet holds the empty `JSValue`, which the rest of the engine treats as a cell pointer; touching it is the segfault at address 5 (the offset of the cell type byte). - **body-parser hack in StringDecoder**: Bun's `StringDecoder` accepts being called as a function on an arbitrary object and initializes that object in place (`RealStringDecoder.apply(this, ...)` from a `util.inherits` subclass). That is why the constructor looks at its receiver at all. The fix keeps that path and only stops scope objects from qualifying. - **Holder in the V8 shim**: a native data property's callbacks receive the receiver as `HolderV2()`. Bun installs such properties as JS accessors, so their getter and setter can also be extracted from the property descriptor and called like functions; that is the path `invokeAccessor` converts. <details> <summary>Release-build repros (bun 1.4.0-canary)</summary> ```js // exits 139; node prints "result: TypeError" let toString; try { require("node:fs").readFileSync(); } catch (e) { ({ toString } = e); } let out; try { out = toString(); } catch (e) { out = e.constructor.name; } console.log("result:", out); let name = "after"; function keep() { return [toString, name]; } keep(); ``` ```js // exits 139; node throws a TypeError const { isFile } = require("node:fs").statSync(__filename); console.log(isFile()); let mode = 0; function keep() { return [isFile, mode]; } keep(); ``` ```js const { StringDecoder } = require("node:string_decoder"); function keep() { return StringDecoder; } const d = StringDecoder("utf8"); console.log(Bun.inspect(d)); // [native code: JSLexicalEnvironment] console.log(d instanceof StringDecoder, typeof d.write); // false undefined ``` ```js // addon.c: napi_create_function("returnThis") returning this_arg from napi_get_cb_info const { returnThis } = require("./addon.node"); function keep() { return returnThis; } console.log(returnThis() === globalThis); // bun: false, node: true console.log(returnThis.call(undefined) === globalThis); // both: true ``` </details> <!-- robobun:evidence:begin --> --- **no test proof** · iteration 0 · Platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine.

…custom fallbacks A call with no receiver through a closed-over or module binding reaches a host function with the resolving scope object in its this slot. The functions that return their receiver handed that object back to script: setSystemTime, the seven fake timer functions on jest/vi, the plugin builder's onLoad, onResolve and module, and the 16 native inspect.custom functions, which return a receiver that is not an instance of their class unchanged. Convert the receiver with strict-mode toThis first, which turns scope objects into undefined and leaves every other value alone. The Rust sites go through a new JSValue::to_this_strict over the same JSC call. The mock functions themselves were converted in #39509, StringDecoder, Node-API and the V8 shim in #39525.

Rebased onto main now that #39509 (mock functions, createInvalidThisError) and #39525 (StringDecoder, fs.Stats, Node-API, V8 shim) have landed. The one conflicting line was the jsMockFunctionCall receiver, which is main's version now, and the mock test here is dropped in favor of the one #39509 added. What remains in this PR is the part those two left out: setSystemTime and the fake timer functions (via the new JSValue::to_this_strict), the plugin builder methods, and the 16 inspect.custom fallbacks, squashed into one commit (373a0d1). Title and description updated to match; CI is running as build 100829. For the record on the CodeRabbit thread about generated files: nothing changed there because those files are hand-maintained sources (no generator for them exists in the tree, and the inspect.custom functions were added to them by hand in #34660 and #34431); the description now says so. |

I reviewed this again after the inspect.custom sites and the CodeRabbit test/generator feedback were folded in — no issues found this round. Given the breadth (27 call sites across JSC C++ bindings, webcore/webcrypto, a new Bun__JSValue__toThisStrict FFI export, and the Rust fake-timer host functions), a human look is still worthwhile before merge.

jest.useFakeTimers(),builder.onLoad(),inspectURL.call(new URL(…))) are preserved; only scope-object receivers collapse toundefined— each test asserts both directions. - The webcore/streams and JSCryptoKey
inspectCustombodies are hand-maintained Bun additions (installed viaBun::WebStreams::installInspectCustom), not regenerated from.classes.ts, so editing them in place is correct.

Overview
This PR normalizes the raw callFrame->thisValue() at every native host function that returns its receiver (or hands it to user code) without first validating it, so a bare call through a closed-over/module binding no longer leaks a JSLexicalEnvironment/JSModuleEnvironment to script. The fix is the same one-token transformation — .toThis(globalObject, JSC::ECMAMode::strict()) — applied at 27 sites: JSMock__jsSetSystemTime, the seven FakeTimers.rs host functions (via a new JSValue::to_this_strict → Bun__JSValue__toThisStrict FFI shim), the three BunPlugin.cpp builder methods, and the 16 [util.inspect.custom] fallthrough branches in webcore/streams, JSDOMURL, JSURLSearchParams and JSCryptoKey. Four test files cover each cluster with both the negative (bare call → undefined) and positive (method call → receiver) directions.
Security risks
None introduced. The change is a hardening: it stops JSC-internal scope objects (whose TDZ slots are empty JSValues that crash on access) from reaching user code. JSCryptoKey.cpp is touched only in its inspect-custom receiver check, not in any key-material path.
Level of scrutiny
Medium-high. Each individual edit is trivial and identical, and toThis in strict mode is provably non-throwing and non-reentrant (it only inspects the cell type). But the change spans JSC C++ bindings, webcore/webcrypto, a new Rust↔C++ FFI export, and Rust host functions — enough surface across critical paths that a maintainer sign-off is appropriate rather than a bot-only approval.
Other factors
This is my third pass on the PR. Both prior findings (the FakeTimers/BunPlugin siblings, then the 16 inspect.custom fallthroughs) were fully addressed, as were the CodeRabbit asks (method-call assertions in plugins.test.ts; the generated-file concern is a false positive — these inspectCustom bodies are Bun-authored, not emitted by a generator). The github-actions comment-cop note on JSValue.rs was resolved (doc comment trimmed to one line). All inline threads are marked resolved. The jsMockFunctionCall portion of the original fix landed separately in #39509, which this PR sits on top of. CI for the current head (build #100829) was still running at review time.
What does this PR do?
Found by fuzzing (
bun fuzzilli, fingerprint3e01338eb67e0977). This is the remaining part of the fix for that class of crash. The mock functions themselves were converted in #39509, StringDecoder,fs.Stats, Node-API and the V8 shim in #39525. This PR covers the sites those two left out: the chaining functions and theinspect.customfallbacks.When a function is called through a binding that lives in a scope object rather than a stack slot (a variable closed over by another function, a module-level binding, an eval binding), JSC passes that scope object as the raw
thisvalue of the call (FunctionCallResolveNode::emitBytecode). JS callees fix this up inop_to_this; native functions are expected to callJSValue::toThis(), which maps anyJSScopetoundefined/globalThis.The functions that return their receiver did not do that, so a bare call handed a
JSLexicalEnvironmentorJSModuleEnvironmentback to user code:setSystemTimeand the seven fake timer functions onjest/vi(useFakeTimers,useRealTimers,advanceTimersByTime,advanceTimersToNextTimer,runOnlyPendingTimers,runAllTimers,clearAllTimers)onLoad,onResolveandmodule[util.inspect.custom]functions (web streams,URL,URLSearchParams,CryptoKey), which return a receiver that is not an instance of their class unchangedProperty reads on such an object go through
symbolTableGet, which returns the raw slot contents. For a binding still in its TDZ that is an emptyJSValue, which is a null cell as far as the rest of the engine is concerned, sotypeof scope.xdereferences null (UBSAN:member call on null pointer of type 'JSC::JSCell'), andObject.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(scope, "x")tripsASSERTION FAILED: valueinPropertyDescriptor::setDescriptor. The fuzzer reached this throughmockReturnThis()(fixed in #39509); every function listed above gives user code the same object.The fix converts the receiver with
toThis(globalObject, ECMAMode::strict())at each site. The Rust sites inFakeTimers.rsgo through a newJSValue::to_this_strict, a thin wrapper over the same call exported frombindings.cpp. Strict mode maps scope objects (including the global object itself, which is also aJSScope) toundefinedand leaves every other value, primitives included, untouched, so:undefined, the same thing a call through a local variable already returnedjest.setSystemTime(),jest.useFakeTimers(),build.onLoad(...)and the rest still return their receiver for chainingcustom-inspect.test.js); only scope objects now come back asundefinedThe other
return thissites I found (JSECDHPrototype.cpp,DiffieHellmanFunctions.h, and the Rust class methods inImage.rs,cron.rs,html_rewriter.rs,quic/stream.rs,TimeoutObject.rs) throw when the receiver is not an instance of their class, or run behind a generated binding that does, so a scope object cannot reach their return statement. They are left alone.The webcore and webcrypto files touched here are checked-in sources, not build output: nothing in the tree regenerates them (the
generate-bindings.plbanner on three of them is a leftover from their import from WebKit), and the inspect.custom functions were added to them by hand in #34660 and #34431.How did you verify your code works?
