Summary

Fix critical severity security issue in runtime/ejs-bigint.cpp.

Vulnerability

Field Value
ID V-001
Severity CRITICAL
Scanner multi_agent_ai
Rule V-001
File runtime/ejs-bigint.cpp:390
Assessment Likely exploitable

Description: The _ejs_bigint_neg function allocates a buffer for z->digits with size x->length digits, then performs a memcpy operation that copies (size_t)x->length * sizeof(uint64_t) bytes. However, the allocation in bigint_alloc() allocates sizeof(EJSBigInt) + (size_t)length * sizeof(uint64_t) bytes total, where the digits array is embedded. The memcpy at line 394 copies the full digit array without validating that the source and destination sizes match. If x->length is manipulated or if there is a mismatch between the allocated size and the copy size, this can overflow the destination buffer.

Evidence

Exploitation scenario: An attacker can craft a BigInt value where the length field is corrupted or mismatched with the actual allocated size.

Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule V-001 flagged this pattern.

Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.

Threat Model Context

This is a private Node.js application (not published to npm). Vulnerabilities affect this application's own runtime only.

Changes

  • runtime/ejs-bigint.cpp

Note: The following lines in the same file use a similar pattern and may also need review: runtime/ejs-bigint.cpp:397

Behavior Preservation

The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.
