Interpreter crash via leaked constant-pool value
Published Mar 6, 2026 · Updated Mar 6, 2026
Denial of service in QuickJS 2025-09-13 allows attackers to crash the qjs interpreter with crafted JavaScript under a low memory limit. cpool_add leaves a JSValue referenced when constant-pool array growth fails, so runtime cleanup finds the garbage-collection object list nonempty and aborts on its assertion. Execution requires module mode and a low memory limit; the documented consequence is a SIGABRT process crash, with no confidentiality or integrity impact.
