A CommonJS resolver override returning an ESM path containing /./ can crash Bun when its first export is read. On Windows, returning forward slashes instead of native backslashes also triggers it. This reproduces without application dependencies or native addons; stock Bun 1.4.2 crashes on the override/dot case, while Node 24 passes.

The CommonJS handoff prepares a record under the returned key. Top-level resolution then changes the spelling and the loader links a second record. requireESM looks up the original key and returns an uninstantiated namespace. The Windows crash resolves to JSC::getValue reading the null environment's symbol table at offset 0x18.

Run resolution as before, then retain the prepared key if the filesystem URLs are equivalent. Real plugin redirects continue to use the new target. No WebKit change is needed. The tests cover resolver overrides and plugin aliases, dot segments, Windows forward slashes, export access, repeated require identity, and plugin import identity.

The equivalent downstream change passes 661 plugin/module/require-cache tests on macOS, with one skip and one todo. This includes the existing async redirect/cache-eviction regression. The new tests fail before and pass after the change; the override fixture passes under Node 24.21.0. P2 review is clean.

Native Windows qualification is complete for the equivalent downstream implementation at openclaw/bun@07a4f1202ea2c2a270a9709898b8ba5803586b9d. The old fork crashes at 0x18 in all four committed override/plugin × dot/forward cases; the patched binary passes all four, and both Node 24 controls pass. The original standalone application workload passes three repetitions with expected exports and cleanup. Three whole-file repetitions complete without a panic (19 pass / 5 pre-existing path-spelling and cleanup failures). A control reproduces the spelling differences unchanged before/after; the cleanup cases also fail under Node.

The full 32-envelope application sweep has no previously-passing assertion regressions, unchanged envelope exit statuses, no unhandled-error increases, and no native panics. Totals: 2,543 pass / 53 fail / 276 skip / 0 pending, versus 2,525 pass / 49 fail / 276 skip / 22 pending before. The five additional failures were previously blocked by the crash and remain reported; 17 newly executed cases pass, and a separate environment fix removes one old failure. Build/smoke and integrity proof: https://github.com/openclaw/bun/actions/runs/37084505411. The unsigned artifact was not published. This upstream branch still needs its own CI.

When top-level resolution only changes an already fetched path spelling, link that prepared record instead of leaving its module environment null. Keep real plugin redirects and cache eviction behavior unchanged.

Retain an already prepared ESM module key when top-level resolution changes only its filesystem spelling. This prevents Windows forward-slash and dot-segment aliases from returning a namespace whose environment was never linked, while preserving real plugin redirects and cache eviction.

Native Windows regression cases and three standalone repetitions pass; the full lazy-alias file completes without a panic. The 32-envelope comparison preserves all previously passing assertions and exposes five pre-existing failures previously hidden by the crash. Linux/macOS CI and P2 review pass on the exact head. Proposed upstream in oven-sh#44482.

Walkthrough

moduleLoaderResolve preserves an existing registry key for qualifying top-level absolute-path requests when the resolved path has the same file URL. New tests cover alias resolution through plugins and filename overrides.

Changes

Module key resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolver key selection
src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp
moduleLoaderResolve saves an existing registry key for eligible top-level requests. It returns that key when the resolved absolute path has the same file URL, while retaining the resolved query.
Alias resolution tests
test/js/bun/plugin/plugin-resolved-key-fixture.cjs, test/js/bun/plugin/plugin-resolved-key.test.ts
The fixture checks module caching through plugin and override resolution, and checks dynamic import in plugin mode. Tests run both modes and include platform-specific path spellings.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 43cbf

The change keeps module records consistent when a resolver returns an equivalent path spelling. No merge-blocking risk is evident from the supplied context. Remaining comments are minor test-organization suggestions.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 43cbf

The change narrowly preserves identity for equivalent file paths. No introduced privilege expansion or security-boundary bypass was identified. Recovery during reentrant cleanup and query-bearing path equivalence remain incompletely verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated affected scope is module identity and execution within an invoking runtime that already accepts resolver overrides or plugin results. The inspected change does not demonstrate new cross-service reachability, tenant access, or privilege acquisition.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Plugin virtual-module resolution and registered namespace handling precede the new equivalence fallback. Ordinary resolution still runs, and resolver exceptions or errors return before prepared-key reuse. A different resolved file URL cannot select the prepared key.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Reentrant cleanup remains a bounded coverage gap, not an established regression. Candidate capture precedes resolver callbacks that can execute JavaScript, while graph disposal clears the registry and stops its context. Existing disposed-graph guards provide counterevidence, but the inspected sources do not prove every in-flight resolution and recovery outcome.

Group the related cases with describe.each().

The nested loops register the mode and spelling cases without a describe block. Use describe.each() to group the parameterized cases. As per coding guidelines: “Use describe blocks for grouping related tests” and “Use describe.each() for parameterized tests.”

Closing as superseded by #44473 (272ff43), which resolves a module specifier once and consumes the final key instead of re-resolving the prepared one, so the equivalent-path case this PR handled no longer arises. Thanks @dylan-conway!

Correction to my closing note: a fresh build of main at 9bd19c9 passes this PR's resolver-override/dot case, so the prepared-key crash is indeed gone with #44473. The plugin-alias/dot case from the same test still fails, now with Cannot find package 'resolved-key-alias' instead of the old namespace crash. That is a separate plugin-resolution gap that #44473 does not cover; I'll follow up with a narrow PR for it rather than reviving this workaround.

Follow-up: #44593 fixes the remaining bare plugin-alias case on #44473’s resolve-once loader. The original fixture and all 99 plugin tests pass. It credits the overlapping #40398 and can be folded into that PR if preferred.
