Remote code execution via constructor reentrancy
Published May 1, 2025 · Updated May 1, 2025
Use-after-free in LibJS in Ladybird before f5a6704 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted JavaScript. ECMAScriptFunctionObject::internal_construct retains arguments_list into the VM argument buffer while a proxied new_target getter runs reentrant JavaScript that reallocates that buffer. The crafted script must execute in LibJS; subsequent argument access dereferences the stale pointer in the renderer context.
