Summary
A type confusion vulnerability exists in the QuickJS engine's handling of the string addition (+) operation. During conversion of the right-hand operand, a callback can change the type of the left-hand operand, leading to a type mismatch and potential out-of-bounds memory access.
Risk Assessment
This may lead to memory corruption and arbitrary code execution in the context of the QuickJS runtime.
Recommendation
Update QuickJS to a patched version. Avoid running untrusted JavaScript in QuickJS until updated.
Other vulnerabilities in QuickJS
See all- CVE-2026-88378Critical
QuickJS commit 04be24600 contains a heap out-of-bounds write condition in JS_ReadFunctionTag().
- CVE-2025-12745Medium
In QuickJS up to commit eb2c89087def1829ed99630cb14b549d7a98408c, the function js_array_buffer_slice in quickjs.c causes a buffer over-read. The attack requires local execution, and the exploit is publicly available.
- CVE-2025-62496High
A vulnerability in the QuickJS engine when creating a BigInt from a string with an excessively large number of digits. The bit count calculation causes an integer overflow, leading to an underestimated buffer size and a heap out-of-bounds write.
- CVE-2025-62495High
An integer overflow vulnerability in the QuickJS regular expression engine (libregexp) due to inconsistent representation of the bytecode buffer size. A large or complex regular expression can cause the size to wrap around and lead to an out-of-bounds write.
- CVE-2025-62493Medium
A vulnerability in the QuickJS engine's BigInt string conversion logic (js_bigint_to_string1) stems from an incorrect calculation of the required number of digits, leading to reading memory past the allocated BigInt structure. In certain edge cases, the conversion loop reads data spanning two limbs, causing an out-of-bounds read.
- CVE-2025-62492Medium
A floating-point arithmetic precision error exists in QuickJS's implementation of TypedArray.prototype.indexOf() when a negative fromIndex argument is supplied. When the value is extremely small (e.g., -1e-20), adding the array length can lose precision and yield an index equal to the length, causing an out-of-bounds read of one element. This may lead to information disclosure of adjacent memory.
- CVE-2025-62491High
A use-after-free exists in the QuickJS engine's standard library when iterating over the global list of unhandled rejected promises (rejected_promise_list). A malicious property getter on an Error object can call catch() on the same rejected promise, which removes and frees the current list entry while the loop continues using the freed pointer.
- CVE-2025-62490High
In QuickJS's js_print_object, printing an array fetches the length and then loops over it, but printing a value is not side-effect free. An attacker-defined callback can run during js_print_value and resize the array, causing a use-after-free; a second instance occurs when printing Map or Set objects whose records list can be modified during js_print_value.
Original NVD description (English source)
A type confusion vulnerability exists in the handling of the string addition (+) operation within the QuickJS engine. * The code first checks if the left-hand operand is a string. * It then attempts to convert the right-hand operand to a primitive value using JS_ToPrimitiveFree. This conversion can trigger a callback (e.g., toString or valueOf). * During this callback, an attacker can modify the type of the left-hand operand in memory, changing it from a string to a different type (e.g., an object or an array). * The code then proceeds to call JS_ConcatStringInPlace, which still treats the modified left-hand value as a string. This mismatch between the assumed type (string) and the actual type allows an attacker to control the data structure being processed by the concatenation logic, resulting in a type confusion condition. This can lead to out-of-bounds memory access, potentially resulting in memory corruption and arbitrary code execution in the context of the QuickJS runtime.
