Problem

  • A module imported with a / in its ?query cannot resolve its relative imports: error: Cannot find module './sub/b.mjs' from '/tmp/refq/a.mjs?path=/x/y'. With .. in the query it runs another folder's files, with no error. Node loads the right files.
  • Four sites split the module key <path>?query at its last /: _resolve (VirtualMachine.rs:5146), __dirname, module.paths, require.resolve.paths().

Fix

  • The loader records on the CommonJS module where the path ends in its key (JSCommonJSModule::setLoadedPath). require(), module.paths and module._compile() use it.
  • For a static import, the resolve hook takes the importer's path from its registry record. Any other string is read whole, as in Node.
  • The first commit is bun -e: keep the whole path of the entry module when the cwd has a ? #45048. The hook needs the whole path of the [eval] entry.
  • Verified: test/js/bun/resolve/import-query.test.ts (7 new tests: main fails 5, the first version fails 3). Self-reviewed: 27 concerns raised, 23 addressed (Notes).

Background

  • The module key is the resolved path plus the ?query. It is also __filename, the require.cache key, and the referrer that JSC passes for a static import.
  • Weighed: a cut at the first ? (the first version: it breaks a folder named what?), a stat per require(), a per-VM key table that only grows.

Downsides

  • Without a query, against main: +6 instructions per require(), +58 per static import, +50 per loaded CommonJS module, +3,328 bytes of .text. No syscall, no allocation.
  • No user reported this, and a percent-encoded query avoids it. resolver: keep ?query and #fragment on file:// URL import specifiers #35601 needs it.
  • As on main: createRequire(__filename) in such a module, and a module that a plugin onLoad serves.
Notes

History of this PR. The first version cut the referrer at the first ? at the four sites (module_key_without_query, moduleKeyPathLength). That fixed the query case and broke plain paths: for a project folder named what?, 11 of 11 resolve entry points (createRequire, Module._resolveFilename, Module._resolveLookupPaths, Module._findPath, import.meta.resolve(bare, parent)) answered from the parent folder, and req("./config.json"), req("some-plugin") and a vm script's dynamic import() ran the parent's files with no error. Main, Bun 1.4.3 and Node v26.3.0 stay in the folder. Both helpers and their Windows device-prefix arms are removed. The four sites are main's code again.

The .. case. The directory that main takes from the key <root>/app/a.mjs?next=/../../decoy/x is <root>/app/a.mjs?next=/../../decoy. After normalisation, ./dep.mjs from there is <root>/decoy/dep.mjs. With a file at that place, Bun 1.4.3 and main print {"esm":"decoy","cjsImported":"decoy"} and exit with 0. Node v26.3.0 and this branch print app. The test a ?query with .. in it does not move a module's imports to another directory has that layout.

How the path is known.

  • JSCommonJSModule::setLoadedPath runs in the five places where the loader gives a CommonJS module its source: both evaluate overloads, both createCommonJSModule overloads, and evaluateWithPotentiallyOverriddenCompile, which hands the source to a module._compile that a Module._extensions hook replaced (pirates, @babel/register). module._compile(source, filename) takes __dirname and the source origin from filenamePath(), so a require() and an import() in a module that such a hook compiles resolve from the module's folder. The hook can pass on the module's filename itself or another string with the same text. It compares the module's filename with the source provider URL, which is the path the loader read. It records the length only when the filename is that path, then ?, then a query that holds / or \. Without a separator in the query, the last separator of the key is already the path's, so nothing is recorded and nothing is allocated later.
  • The length is in code units of the filename string, and the path is handed out as a substring of that same string (filenamePath()). No length crosses FFI. A directory name that is not ASCII is covered by a test.
  • m_filename is private now. A write goes through setFilename(), which clears the length. filenamePath(vm, filename) answers only for a string that has the text of the module's own filename: the same string, or a copy of it that a hook passes to module._compile(). Any other filename, for example an own property with another path or the filename of a plain object that is passed as the parent, is read whole.
  • module.paths is derived from filenamePath() on its first read and kept. A Module._extensions hook runs before the loader reads the file, so a read there derives the list from the whole key. setLoadedPath() drops a list that the getter derived, and the module's next read derives it from the path. A list that JS assigned stays. m_paths is private, with one setter for each of the two. setLoadedPath() returns when the same path is recorded already, so a second load of a module keeps what JS changed after the first load.
  • For ES modules the hook scans the referrer for a ? followed by a separator. Only then it looks the referrer up in the loader's registry and uses the record's source provider URL when that is a proper prefix followed by ?. A vm script filename or any other string that is not a registered key is read whole.
  • The [eval] / [stdin] entry had a source URL that was cut at the first ? of the cwd. With that, the hook would send a static import of a bun -e script in a ? cwd to the parent folder. bun -e: keep the whole path of the entry module when the cwd has a ? #45048 is that fix alone, with its tests. It is the first commit here and drops out of this diff when it lands.

Measurements (linux-x64, release builds of main 116dd64 and of this branch at fe81cf4, which is that main plus this diff):

What Result Tool
require() / require.resolve() from a file without a query +6 instructions per call, all in functionImportMeta__resolveSyncPrivate (106 to 112: 1 load, 1 branch, register moves). Bun__resolveSync, resolve_with_args, _resolve and the two functions between them are identical (95, 94, 214, 37, 215 per call). qemu-user, one instruction per block, exec log of these functions, 1e3 against 2e3 iterations
Static import, per call of the resolve hook +58 instructions: moduleLoaderResolve 196 to 217, plus 37 in WTF::find8VectorizedImpl (the scan for ?). _resolve and the functions above it are identical per call (230, 215, 37, 29). qemu-user, graphs of 1,000 and 2,000 modules with 3 imports each
Newly required CommonJS module +50 instructions: 39 in setLoadedPath, 5 in evaluate, 6 for the require() above qemu-user, 1,000 against 2,000 one-line files

Release binary .text +3,328 bytes (80,779,237 to 80,782,565), 0 new exported symbols (692) size -A, nm -D

The commit after fe81cf4 (79b3871) changes setLoadedPath, the module.paths getter and its setter. Release builds of fe81cf4 and of 79b3871, same tools:

What Result
setLoadedPath per loaded CommonJS module without a query 39 to 39 instructions
First read of module.paths in a module 86 to 89 instructions in the getter
Assignment to module.paths 21 to 29 instructions in the setter
.text 80,782,565 to 80,782,565 bytes
sizeof(JSCommonJSModule), exported symbols 144, 692 (both as before)

Measured on 2026-10-11 with main 6c1eb06 and this branch at 96200a1c6f. The code on these paths did not change after that:

What Result Tool
stat / open syscalls per call +0 for createRequire in a ? folder, 0 per call in a module with a / in its query gdb catch syscall, 1e3 against 2e3 calls
String cells per require.resolve() +0 without a query, +0 with ?v=1, +1 with ?path=/x/y (the substring) bun:jsc heapStats(), 1e4 calls
Registry lookups in the resolve hook 0 for 500 plain modules (1,045 hook calls), 1 per import of a module with a / in its query, 1 per import in a ? cwd lldb breakpoint hit counts, debug build
The first version of this PR (837c061) Its scan in _resolve cost 227 instructions per require() / require.resolve() call (23 in module_key_without_query, 204 in the SIMD index_of_char), and its find in JSCommonJSModule::create cost 42 per required module. Both are gone. qemu-user, same loops

Who needs this. I found no issue from a user about a separator in an import query, and encodeURIComponent on the query value avoids the bug in code that the user writes. The reasons to fix it are the silent load of another folder's file (the .. case), Node parity, and #35601. That PR keeps the ?query of a file:// specifier in the key (for #13391 and #21346). Its body says that a / in that query then moves the module's directory, and it carries the first version of this branch for that.

Test results (import-query.test.ts, 22 tests, release builds): main 116dd64 17 pass and 5 fail, this branch 22 pass. The first version of this PR (837c061 merged with main 6c1eb06) passed 19 and failed 3: the two ? folder tests and the Module._extensions hook test. Each new test is one process and runs alone. On the debug ASAN build, one at a time each takes 0.3 to 0.6 s on a 12-core machine, and seven at once take 0.4 to 1.5 s each. On an earlier machine with fewer cores, four at once took 3.6 to 5.0 s each right after a build, against the 5 s limit. In CI the whole file takes 0.13 s (darwin aarch64) to 1.9 s (debian x64-asan).

Left as on main.

  • A key that comes back as a plain string is read as a path, as Node reads it: createRequire(__filename), path.dirname(__filename), pathToFileURL(__filename), Module._resolveFilename(x, { filename: __filename }) and import.meta.resolve(x, key) inside a CommonJS module whose query has a /. (new URL("file:" + __filename) is right, because the URL parser takes the ? as its query.) See the question below.
  • A module that a plugin onLoad serves. Its key is the plugin's args.path, query included, and that key is also its source URL. The loader has no path for it, so its imports resolve from the key. No issue is open for this. The same area has a second defect that is on main for every query: an onLoad result without loader for ./t.ts?v=1 fails with 2 errors building, because the loader is inferred from .ts?v=1.
  • A Module._extensions handler that reads the file itself and calls module._compile(source, filename). Bun's loader does not read that module, so there is no loaded path: the handler's filename is read whole. (A handler that calls the handler it replaced, as pirates does, goes through the loader and is fixed.) A handler is only chosen for a key whose query ends in a registered extension (?path=/x/y.cjs).
  • Inside a Module._extensions hook, before it calls the loader, module.path, module.paths, Module._resolveFilename(x, module) and Module._resolveLookupPaths(x, module) read the whole key. The loader has read nothing at that point (ModuleLoader.cpp:886), and its own lr.path is only the specifier cut at its first ? (/root/what for the file /root/what?/main.js). For a key with a separator in its query, an edit in place of the list that the hook read (module.paths.unshift(dir)) is dropped with that list, and a module.path that the hook assigned is replaced by the directory of the path.
  • JSON-like modules and the CommonJS facade of an ES module have no recorded path (module.path and module.paths strings only).
  • run_on_resolve still shows plugins an importer cut at the first ? (VirtualMachine.rs:7706, from Resolve a module specifier once: fix a segfault in require() of an ES module, and require() with a plugin's namespace #44473).
  • The referrer of a dynamic import() is the source origin of the code, which never had the query. Nothing changes there.
  • In a cwd with ?, import.meta.dir and import.meta.resolve() of the eval module still use the parent (ImportMetaObject::createFromSpecifier), and a file under such a folder does not load (bun test fails while searching for test files if path contains '?' #7928).
  • Decide in _resolve whether a ? is part of a path or starts a query #36627 reads a ? that is followed by / as a byte of a folder name. If it lands, ./a.cjs?/x is a path and not a query. The queries in these tests do not start with /.
  • The text of Cannot find module for a require() inside a module whose query has a / now names the path without the query. For every other module it is unchanged.
  • resolver: keep ?query and #fragment on file:// URL import specifiers #35601 merged the first version of this branch, and fix(runtime): preserve encoded file URL path delimiters #42469 is based on resolver: keep ?query and #fragment on file:// URL import specifiers #35601. Both call the removed helpers and have to take this version.

Self-review. 27 concerns, 23 addressed. Of the first 19, 18: the .. case and its test, the measured costs, the [eval] fix as its own PR (#45048), tests that each run in about 1 s on the debug build, the __filename assertions taken out, the Module._extensions hook case fixed, and the list above. The other one asked for a tracker of the plugin onLoad case. No issue exists for it. Of the 8 for the module.paths commit, 5: a second load dropped a list that was right (fixed, with a test), no test assigned the list after a read (added), the test reached one of the two places that record the path (it reaches both), the count of compiled modules changed for the cases that were there (it does not), and a comment. The other 3 are not changed: the edit in place and the assigned module.path (both in the list above), and \ in a query counts as a separator on POSIX too (one rule for every platform. On POSIX it records a path whose directory was right already).

Question for a maintainer. __filename and module.filename of a CommonJS module that was loaded with a query are the key (/abs/a.cjs?v=1), on main and here. Node has no query there, and Bun's own import.meta.filename is the path. If they become the path, every round trip in the first bullet above works for every query, and require.cache[__filename] === module stops being true for a module that was loaded with a query. This PR does not change either string and the tests do not assert them.

Suites run locally on the debug ASAN build at 79b3871: import-query (22 tests), run-eval (50 tests), node-module-module, module-resolve-filename-paths, require-extensions, import-meta, import-meta-resolve, esModule, bun-main-entry-point, resolve, resolve-error, non-english-import, module-children-concurrent-gc, esm-registry-concurrent-gc, run-cjs, require-and-import-trailing, require-esm-evaluating-cycle, plugins, vm, repl, and Node's test-module-nodemodulepaths, test-module-create-require, test-module-create-require-multibyte, test-require-resolve, test-require-resolve-opts-paths-relative, test-module-relative-lookup, test-require-cache, test-require-dot, test-require-unicode, test-module-loading-error, test-require-extensions-main, test-module-loading-deprecated. All pass. Two more suites fail on a debug build with and without this diff, and pass in CI. module-graph, run alone: 288 of 292 pass. The four dynamicImport cases time out, because one process of them takes 6 s on a debug build against the 5 s limit (on a debug build of main 116dd64, three of the four time out). require-cache: 11 of 18 pass on both builds. Its leak tests have 20 s and 60 s limits, and an RSS limit that is only raised for a binary named bun-asan.

…ains a slash

The module key of a module imported with a query is '<abs path>?query',
and that key is the referrer for the module's own imports. The referrer's
directory was taken with a last-separator split over the whole key, so a
'/' inside the query produced a bogus directory and 'Cannot find module'.

Split the query off the referrer before taking its directory in
VirtualMachine::_resolve. Do the same for the CommonJS __dirname
(JSCommonJSModule::create) and module.paths
(Resolver__nodeModulePathsJSValue), which split the same key.

Walkthrough

CommonJS modules now track loaded source paths separately from query-bearing filenames. Resolution and lookup APIs use the loaded path where applicable. Eval and stdin paths preserve the full specifier. Regression tests cover query-bearing paths and related resolution behavior.

Changes

Query-aware module resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track CommonJS loaded paths
src/jsc/bindings/JSCommonJSModule.h, src/jsc/bindings/JSCommonJSModule.cpp
JSCommonJSModule tracks a loaded source-path prefix when the filename begins with that path followed by ? and the suffix contains a path separator. Module creation and source evaluation initialize this state.
Use loaded paths during resolution
src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/ImportMetaObject.cpp, src/jsc/modules/NodeModuleModule.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/JSCommonJSModule.cpp, src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs, src/bundler/options.rs
Resolution adjusts matching query-bearing importer keys to their source URL. CommonJS resolution and lookup APIs use filename paths. Eval and stdin paths use the full specifier.
Test query-bearing paths

Status: reworked at 79b3871 (merged with main 116dd64). The first version (837c061) resolved a project in a folder named what? from the parent folder. This version does not.

Reproduced on Bun 1.4.3 and on main (6c1eb06), Linux x64:

mkdir -p /tmp/refq/sub && cd /tmp/refq
echo 'export const b = 1;' > sub/b.mjs
echo 'import { b } from "./sub/b.mjs"; export const a = b;' > a.mjs
echo 'console.log((await import("./a.mjs?path=/x/y")).a);' > e.mjs
bun e.mjs
# error: Cannot find module './sub/b.mjs' from '/tmp/refq/a.mjs?path=/x/y'
node e.mjs
# 1

With .. in the query, the same builds run the file of another folder:

mkdir -p /tmp/decoy/app /tmp/decoy/decoy && cd /tmp/decoy
echo 'export default "app";' > app/dep.mjs
echo 'export default "decoy";' > decoy/dep.mjs
echo 'import dep from "./dep.mjs"; export default dep;' > app/a.mjs
echo 'import esm from "./app/a.mjs?next=/../../decoy/x"; console.log(esm);' > entry.mjs
bun entry.mjs
# decoy (exit 0)
node entry.mjs
# app

The regression of the first version, reproduced on a release build of 837c061 merged with the same main:

mkdir -p '/tmp/q/what?' && cd /tmp/q
echo '{"from":"parent"}' > config.json
echo '{"from":"project"}' > 'what?/config.json'
bun -e 'const req = require("node:module").createRequire("/tmp/q/what?/package.json"); console.log(req.resolve("./config.json"))'
# first version: /tmp/q/config.json
# Bun 1.4.3, main, Node v26.3.0 and this version: /tmp/q/what?/config.json

test/js/bun/resolve/import-query.test.ts (22 tests), release builds: main 116dd64 17 pass and 5 fail, this version 22 pass. The first version (837c061 merged with main 6c1eb06) passed 19 and failed 3.

The first commit of this branch is #45048.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked: the SAFETY comment in VirtualMachine.rs:4525 still holds — normalize_specifier_for_resolution returns a re-slice of source, so dir_with_trailing_slash() is still borrowing source; and the key->find('?') bound in JSCommonJSModule.cpp against Windows \\?\ extended-length prefixes — module keys reaching this site are resolved absolute paths without that prefix, so no regression there.

Extended reasoning...

The inline finding covers the one sibling site this class-fix leaves open (resolveLookupPaths in NodeModuleModule.cpp deriving the parent directory from parent.filename without stripping the query). Two other concerns were examined and ruled out: the unsafe { detach_lifetime(...) } block's SAFETY comment remains accurate because normalize_specifier_for_resolution returns &specifier_[..i], a borrow of the original source buffer, so the transitive re-slice invariant is preserved; and bounding reverseFind(PLATFORM_SEP) at the first ? on Windows would misbehave on a \\?\-prefixed key, but the require-map keys reaching JSCommonJSModule::create are resolver output that does not carry that prefix, so this is not a regression from base.

Take the `#fragment` handling for relative specifiers (`./x.mjs#a`) back
out. It is a separate decision: `#` is a legal file name byte, and each
order (literal name first, or fragment first) can load a different file
than the one the specifier names. A `file://` URL has no such doubt,
because a `#` in its path is written `%23`.

Two cases loaded on main and failed with the suffix in the key:

- `import(fileUrl + "?a=/b")` of a module that has relative imports. The
  key is the referrer of those imports, and the `/` in the suffix moved
  its directory. The merge of #41929 cuts the key at its first `?`.
- `import(fileUrl + "?t=1")` of a module that `bun build --compile`
  embedded. The module graph finds an embedded module by its exact key,
  so `resolve_maybe_needs_trailing_slash` gives that key no suffix.

For the record: #35601 now includes this branch, merged in as it is (d5335b6, head 837c061).

#35601 puts the ?query and #fragment of a file:// specifier into the module key. Without this PR that turns two cases that load on main (main drops the suffix) into Cannot find module: import(fileUrl + "?a=/b") of a module that has relative imports, and require(fileUrl + "?a=/b"). A fragment with no query is carried as ?#frag in the key, so the cut at the first ? here covers #/ptr too.

If this PR lands first, its part drops out of #35601. If #35601 lands first, this PR is done and can be closed.

The key of the `bun -e` or stdin entry module is `<cwd>/[eval]` or
`<cwd>/[stdin]`. The loader cut that key at the first `?`, as it does for a
`?query`, so with a `?` in the cwd the entry got the path of a parent folder.

The transpiler then did not see the entry as the main module and kept its
CommonJS wrapper, while the evaluation took the entry as a script that has
none: a CommonJS script printed nothing and exited with 0. A dynamic
`import()` in the script resolved from the folder that the cut left.

The entry has no query, so its path is the whole key.
The four sites that took the directory of a referrer cut the string at the
first `?`. They also receive plain file paths (createRequire, a parent
object, a vm script filename), and on POSIX a `?` is a file name byte, so a
project in a folder named `what?` resolved from the parent folder.

The sites are main's code again. The loader records on the CommonJS module
where the path ends in its key, and only the code that holds that module
uses it. The resolve hook for static imports takes the path of the importing
module from its registry record. Every other string is read whole.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked two things in the new design and ruled them out: loadedPath() calling asString on the WriteBarrier<Unknown> field is safe because every write to m_filename goes through the constructor (length starts at 0) or setFilename() (resets it), so a non-zero m_filenamePathLength always implies a JSString; and plugin onResolve callbacks now see the query-stripped importer only when the query contains a separator (with ?v=1 they still get the full key), which is a visible inconsistency but not a resolution bug.

Extended reasoning...

The PR's design changed since the earlier reviews: instead of splitting keys at the first ?, it now records the loader's source URL length on JSCommonJSModule and looks up the ESM registry record's sourceURL in moduleLoaderResolve, so the earlier posted findings about the first-? split no longer apply. Two new findings are posted inline (the overridden _compile sibling path and the un-mirrored [eval] re-init in bundler/options.rs); the note above records what else was examined this run.

… each test case

The copy of `get_loader_and_virtual_source` in `src/bundler/options.rs` gets
the same path for the `[eval]` and `[stdin]` entry.
`VirtualMachine::fetch_without_on_load_plugins` uses that copy.

Each test case is one process and asserts one `{ stdout, stderr, exitCode }`.
`bun -p` has a case.
A `Module._extensions` hook that replaces `module._compile` and then calls
the handler it replaced (pirates, @babel/register) gets the source from the
loader through `evaluateWithPotentiallyOverriddenCompile`. That path did not
record where the path ends in the key, and `module._compile(source, filename)`
took `__dirname` and the source origin from the whole key.

The comments of this change are one line each.

This push covers both points from my last pass (the options.rs mirror of get_loader_and_virtual_source now re-inits path too, and evaluateWithPotentiallyOverriddenCompile records the loaded path before the user _compile hook runs). Beyond the inline finding, I also checked dynamic import() from a query-keyed module: moduleLoaderImportModule already takes its referrer from the SourceOrigin's fileSystemPath() (ZigGlobalObject.cpp:3680-3681), so it does not need the new registry lookup; and the ESM referrer lookup mirrors the existing toExistingAtomString/registryEntry pattern at ZigGlobalObject.cpp:809-815 with its exception check in place.

Extended reasoning...

The diff touches CommonJS and ESM module resolution in native code (JSCommonJSModule, ZigGlobalObject resolve hook, NodeModuleModule, ImportMetaObject) plus the two Rust copies of the eval/stdin loader entry, and adds tests to the existing import-query and run-eval files. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface, but it changes which directory relative imports resolve from, so a human look remains worthwhile. The findings posted last run were both addressed by the latest commits; the one finding this run is pre-existing and is posted inline. Not approving because the change is non-trivial native module-loader logic rather than a mechanical edit.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

  • 🟣 src/jsc/bindings/ImportMetaObject.cpp — pre-existing: an ESM-mode bun -e or stdin script run in a cwd whose name has a ? still gets import.meta.dir, import.meta.resolve() and require() (import.meta.require) from the parent directory, so require("./config.json") silently returns the parent's file. The loader-side fix at src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:3916 keeps the whole <cwd>/[eval] key, but ImportMetaObject::createFromSpecifier at src/jsc/bindings/ImportMetaObject.cpp:93-98 still cuts the key at its first ?, so the URL becomes file:///tmp/what with query /[eval]. Fix: build import.meta for a registered module from the record's loaded path (record->sourceCode().provider()->sourceURL()) with the rest as the query, and for a CommonJS module from filenamePath(); the first-? cut can stay only as the fallback for strings that are no module key.

    Why this was flagged

    Run bun -e 'import fs from "node:fs"; console.log(require("./config.json").from, import.meta.dir)' with cwd /tmp/what? where both /tmp/config.json and /tmp/what?/config.json exist. The entry key is /tmp/what?/[eval]; GlobalObject::moduleLoaderCreateImportMetaProperties (src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp:4245) calls ImportMetaObject::create(globalObject, key) which goes to createFromSpecifier (src/jsc/bindings/ImportMetaObject.cpp:91-103). Line 93 finds the first ? at index 9, line 97 makes the URL from /tmp/what and line 98 sets /[eval] as the query. The lazy dir property (src/jsc/bindings/ImportMetaObject.cpp:673-691) then yields /tmp, and the require property (src/jsc/bindings/ImportMetaObject.cpp:647-668) creates a bound require on /tmp/what, so require("./config.json") resolves to /tmp/config.json and prints parent with exit 0. The base branch behaves identically; the diff only fixes the loader's source URL (src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:3916), and the run-eval tests only cover the CommonJS-sniffed -e whose native require does not go through import.meta.

    Verification: pre-existing (base fails the same way by the same route; the diff does not touch createFromSpecifier). createFromSpecifier (src/jsc/bindings/ImportMetaObject.cpp:91-103) does specifier.find('?') at line 93 and at lines 97-98 builds the URL from /tmp/what with /[eval] as the query, so require("./config.json") resolves to /tmp/config.json with no error.

`module._compile(source, filename)` gets `filename` from the hook that
calls it. A hook can pass on another string with the same text as the
module's key. The check was the identity of the string cell, so for such a
string `__dirname` and the source origin came from the whole key.

The compare of the text runs only for a module that has a recorded path.

Comment thread src/jsc/bindings/JSCommonJSModule.cpp Resolved
A Module._extensions hook runs before the loader reads the file. A hook
that read module.paths there got the list for the whole key, and the
getter kept it for the module's life. setLoadedPath() now drops a list
that the getter derived. A list that JS assigned stays.

setLoadedPath() returns when the same path is recorded already, so a
second load of a module keeps what JS changed after the first one.

🟡 (optional) A Module._extensions hook that assigns module.path before delegating to the builtin loader loses that value for a key with a ?query holding a /. setLoadedPath at src/jsc/bindings/JSCommonJSModule.cpp:1018 writes m_dirname unconditionally on the first load, after the hook already ran, so the module body sees the loader's directory as __dirname. A hook-assigned module.paths is kept via m_pathsAreDerived, so path is the odd one out. Fix: only replace m_dirname when it is still the value derived from the key (track it like m_pathsAreDerived, or compare it with the key's last-separator substring), so a hook's assignment of module.path survives on the first load as it does on a repeated load.

Why this was flagged

Trigger: Module._extensions['.js'] = (m, f) => { m.path = '/custom'; return orig(m, f); } followed by require('./app/a.js?next=/x/y'). The module is created by $createCommonJSModule with m_dirname from the key, then the user hook runs in evaluateCommonJSCustomExtension (ModuleLoader.cpp:620-643) before any setLoadedPath; setterPath (JSCommonJSModule.cpp:617-628) stores /custom in m_dirname. When the hook delegates, evaluate() (JSCommonJSModule.cpp:1591 or 1606) calls setLoadedPath, which finds m_filenamePathLength != pathLength and overwrites m_dirname at line 1018 with the key's path directory, then passes that to evaluateCommonJSModuleOnce as __dirname. On the base branch evaluate() passes the hook's /custom through untouched. The m_filenamePathLength == pathLength early return at line 1013 only protects a repeated load, not the first one, and m_pathsAreDerived protects only m_paths.

Verification: A Module._extensions hook assigns module.path before delegating to the builtin loader, for a key <path>?<query> whose query contains a separator. In setLoadedPath (JSCommonJSModule.cpp:1014) the only guard is m_filenamePathLength == pathLength, 0 != pathLength on the first load, so line 1018 replaces /custom with the loader's directory. On base __dirname was the hook's /custom.

🟡 (optional) A Module._extensions hook that edits module.paths in place before delegating loses those edits for a key whose ?query holds a /; on the base branch the array and its identity survive the load. getterPaths marks the list it derives (JSCommonJSModule.cpp:650) and setLoadedPath drops it whole at JSCommonJSModule.cpp:1020-1023 once the loader reads the file, which runs after the hook. Fix: keep the hook's changes when re-deriving, e.g. replace only the entries that came from the key's directory inside the same array, or clear only when the array is unchanged since derivation. This is a cost of the remedy for the entry at JSCommonJSModule.cpp:1024.

Why this was flagged

Trigger: Module._extensions['.js'] = (m, f) => { m.paths.unshift('/custom/node_modules'); return orig(m, f); }, then require('./app/a.js?next=/x/y.js'). overridableRequire creates the module with $createCommonJSModule (src/js/builtins/CommonJS.ts:84), so m_filenamePathLength is 0 when evaluateCommonJSCustomExtension calls the hook (src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp:886). The hook's m.paths read runs getterPaths, which stores the array through setDerivedPaths (src/jsc/bindings/JSCommonJSModule.cpp:650, m_pathsAreDerived = true), and the hook mutates that array. Delegating reaches evaluate -> setLoadedPath, which sees m_pathsAreDerived and clears m_paths (src/jsc/bindings/JSCommonJSModule.cpp:1020-1023); the next module.paths read derives a fresh array without /custom/node_modules. The base branch never clears m_paths, so the pushed entry and the array identity persist. Only setPaths (assignment) protects a list; in-place mutation is not detected.

Verification: A Module._extensions['.js'] hook that mutates module.paths in place before delegating, for a key whose query holds a /. getterPaths stores the list with setDerivedPaths (JSCommonJSModule.cpp:650); unshift does not go through setterPaths, so setLoadedPath at lines 1020-1023 clears m_paths. On the base branch nothing cleared it, so the in-place edit survived the load.
