Problem

  • Bun.build with sourcemap: "linked" writes //# sourceMappingURL= with the raw output name and the raw publicPath. A LF, CR, U+2028 or U+2029 in either ends the line comment, and the rest runs as code when the bundle loads: //# sourceMappingURL=page\nglobalThis.INJECTED = 'ran';var y={js:{map:1}};y.js.map.
  • The worst case is a data entry (.json, .txt, .toml, .yaml, .md): its content cannot carry code, its name can.
  • Three places append the comment with extend_from_slice: src/bundler/linker_context/generateChunksInParallel.rs (in-memory build, standalone HTML) and writeOutputFilesToDisk.rs. For standalone HTML the code lands in the inline <script>.

Fix

  • The three places call one helper in src/bundler/Chunk.rs. It percent-encodes both parts of the URL. A new source lint fails on a writer that does not.
  • The file path part keeps the bytes esbuild keeps (Go's URL.EscapedPath), without :. A space is %20, # is %23, % is %25. Those were wrong before too.
  • publicPath keeps printable ASCII: ?, #, an [::1] host and %20 stay as written. This closes the comment only. Other places still write it raw (Notes).
  • Verified: 6 new tests in test/bundler/bun-build-api.test.ts, 1 in standalone.test.ts. All fail on 1.4.3 (Linux, Windows).

Background

Notes

Repro from the report, before and after (debug build):

before: "//# sourceMappingURL=page\nglobalThis.INJECTED = 'ran';var y={js:{map:1}};y.js.map\n"
        after importing the bundle, globalThis.INJECTED = ran
after:  "//# sourceMappingURL=page%0AglobalThis.INJECTED%20=%20%27ran%27;var%20y=%7Bjs%3A%7Bmap%3A1%7D%7D;y.js.map\n"
        after importing the bundle, globalThis.INJECTED = undefined

The same name on a .json, .txt, .toml, .yaml or .md entry gives the same result on 1.4.3. A .js entry is the weaker case: who can add a .js file to the entry tree already controls code in the bundle.

Standalone HTML (bun build --compile --target=browser --sourcemap=linked "in\ndex.html" --outdir dist), before:

//# sourceMappingURL=./in
dex-hfpqqmgc.js.map
</script>

On Windows a file name cannot contain LF or CR, but it can contain U+2028 and U+2029. The two tests for those run there and fail on the current canary.

What esbuild 0.28.2 writes for the same inputs (checked with its JS API):

file "a b#c%20d[f](g)!h'i$k&l+m,n;o=p@q~r.js"
  //# sourceMappingURL=a%20b%23c%2520d%5Bf%5D%28g%29%21h%27i$k&l+m,n;o=p@q~r.js.map
publicPath "http://[::1]:3000/my%20assets/"
  //# sourceMappingURL=http://%5B::1%5D:3000/my%2520assets/...
publicPath "/cdn/\nglobalThis.X=1;0/"
  //# sourceMappingURL=/cdn/%0AglobalThis.X=1;0/...

esbuild path-escapes publicPath too. That breaks an IPv6 host and encodes %20 a second time, so this PR does not copy that part. esbuild also replaces :, * and control characters in output names with _ before this step. Bun keeps the name, so : is encoded here: a:b.js.map as a relative URL parses as scheme a.

Not in this PR. Each of these writes the same two strings somewhere else:

The lint (source-mapping-url-writers.test.ts) lists the three files that may hold a string literal that stops at //# sourceMappingURL=: the encoder, the dev server (it appends a hex id) and the reader. #41939 adds a fourth writer in src/bundler/transpiler.rs that copies publicPath and the path raw. It can call append_source_mapping_url_comment.

Suites run on a debug build: test/bundler/bun-build-api.test.ts, standalone.test.ts, cli.test.ts, bundler_html.test.ts, bundler_edgecase.test.ts, bun-build-compile-sourcemap.test.ts, compile-sourcemap-internal.test.ts, bundler_compile.test.ts -t sourcemap, esbuild/default.test.ts, esbuild/splitting.test.ts, test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-html.test.ts, test/regression/issue/cyclic-imports-async-bundler.test.js, test/internal/source-lints/byte-search.test.ts. Two bytecode tests in bun-build-api.test.ts hit the 5 s default timeout on a debug build. They do not use source maps.


no test proof · iteration 0 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/bundler/standalone.test.ts, test/bundler/bun-build-api.test.ts

The linked source map comment was written with the raw output name and
the raw publicPath. A LF, CR, U+2028 or U+2029 in an entry file name, in
a naming template, or in publicPath ended the line comment, and the rest
ran as code when the bundle was loaded.

All three places that append the comment (in-memory build, build to
disk, standalone HTML) now call one helper. The file path part is
encoded as a URL path with the set esbuild uses. publicPath keeps
printable ASCII, so URL syntax and existing escapes survive.

Status

Reproduced on 1.4.3 (b993710) with the script from the report: an entry named page\nglobalThis.INJECTED = 'ran';var y={js:{map:1}};y.js, Bun.build with sourcemap: "linked", then import() of the output sets globalThis.INJECTED to ran. The same name on a .json, .txt, .toml, .yaml or .md entry does the same. publicPath with a line break and the standalone HTML build (--compile --target=browser) also reproduce.

With this branch the comment is //# sourceMappingURL=page%0AglobalThis.INJECTED%20=... and nothing runs.

Self-reviewed: the review asked for an accurate scope statement (the body now lists every other place that writes these strings raw), an append form of the helper, and a lint for new sourceMappingURL= writers. All three are in. The //# sourceURL= line that the runtime writes under --inspect has the same problem and is tracked separately.

Walkthrough

The bundler now uses shared source-map URL comment generation. The helper percent-encodes unsafe bytes in public paths and relative filenames. Linked source-map output paths use the helper, with regression tests covering line terminators, URL characters, and output modes.

I reviewed this and found no bugs. Because it makes a deliberate design call — keeping all printable ASCII in publicPath rather than path-escaping it like esbuild does — and overlaps with #40834, a maintainer should confirm the two keep-sets are the encoding they want to ship.

What was reviewed:

  • All three raw-concat sites route through the new helper; no fourth site was missed (grepped for sourceMappingURL= in src/bundler/).
  • percent_encode iterates per-byte with a predicate — not a byte search, so it does not hit the strings/memchr lint; the under-sized with_capacity is only a hint and Vec grows on the rare escape path.
  • is_url_path_byte matches Go's encodePath reserved set minus :; U+2028/U+2029 encode byte-wise as %E2%80%A8/%E2%80%A9 because none of their UTF-8 bytes are ASCII-graphic.
  • Tests cover both the disk and in-memory append paths, all four ECMAScript line terminators, the CLI/standalone-HTML path, and round-trip decodeURIComponent back to the on-disk map; Windows skips are gated on the actual filesystem constraint (control chars only), so the U+2028/U+2029 cases still run there.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR replaces three copy-pasted //# sourceMappingURL= builders (two in generateChunksInParallel.rs — the standalone/HTML-inline path and the general in-memory chunk path — and one in writeOutputFilesToDisk.rs) with a single with_source_mapping_url_comment helper in src/bundler/Chunk.rs. The helper percent-encodes both halves of the URL: the publicPath prefix keeps every ASCII graphic byte (0x21–0x7E), and the relative map path keeps Go's URL.EscapedPath set minus :. Six new tests in bun-build-api.test.ts and one in standalone.test.ts cover the four ECMAScript line terminators across both build modes, plus URL-syntax preservation and a CLI --compile --target=browser case.

Security risks

This is a hardening fix for a real injection: a LF/CR/U+2028/U+2029 in an entry filename or publicPath previously terminated the // comment and let the remainder execute when the bundle loaded. The new encoder closes that for this comment. I checked that both keep-sets exclude every byte of every ECMAScript line terminator (LF and CR fail is_ascii_graphic; the UTF-8 bytes of U+2028/U+2029 are all ≥ 0x80). The worst-case regression is over-encoding a byte a debugger expects raw, which is a source-map-lookup inconvenience, not a security regression. The PR description honestly enumerates the other raw-write sites (chunk-reference substitution into JS/CSS/HTML, the SourceMap header, //# sourceURL=) that this PR intentionally does not touch — those are tracked separately, so this is not silently claiming to close the whole class.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate. The Rust change is ~50 net new lines and three mechanical call-site replacements, all in the bundler's output-assembly layer. It follows the repo's rules closely: escaping lives in the shared output layer, bun_core::fmt::hex2_upper for hex, load-bearing one-line comments citing the reference (Go's URL.EscapedPath), tempDir/describe.concurrent/test.skipIf(isWindows) with a stated reason, exact toEqual assertions on the full comment, and both code paths exercised per case. The percent_encode loop is a per-byte predicate test rather than a substring/byte search, so the bun_core::strings lint does not apply. No CODEOWNERS entry covers src/bundler/.

Other factors

The one thing that warrants a human look is the encoding policy itself: this PR intentionally diverges from esbuild by leaving publicPath's printable ASCII intact (so [::1], #, ?, and pre-existing %20 survive), where esbuild path-escapes it and breaks those. The reasoning is sound and documented, but it is a user-visible behavior choice that also differs from the competing #40834, so a maintainer should sign off on the two keep-sets before merge. Beyond that, the bug-hunt ran to a dry streak with no findings and no ruled-out candidates, and the PR timeline shows no outstanding reviewer objections.

… for raw writers

append_source_mapping_url_comment writes the encoded comment into a Vec, for
writers that build their output in one.

The lint fails when a file other than the encoder, the dev server (hex id)
and the reader has a string literal that stops at `//# sourceMappingURL=`,
which is what a writer that appends its own URL looks like.
