v8.writeHeapSnapshot() wrote the snapshot through fs.writeFileSync with no mode, so a new file got 0666 minus the umask (0644 with umask 022). Node opens the file with mode 0600 in WriteSnapshot (src/heap_utils.cc). Pass mode 0o600 to the one writeFileSync call. The mode only applies when the call creates the file. An existing file keeps its mode, as in Node. The mode has no effect on Windows.
The profile writers went through File::write_file and File::write_file_os_path, which open with mode 0o664. Node writes --heap-prof and --cpu-prof files through WriteFileSync (src/node_file_utils.cc), which opens with mode 0600. Add write_owner_only in BunCPUProfiler.rs and call it from the six profile opens (first try and retry after mkdir, both profilers). The --heap-prof-md and --cpu-prof-md files have no Node counterpart. They get the same mode as their sibling files. The mode only applies when the file is created. Directories and the shared 0o664 in bun_sys are unchanged.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline findings, I checked the write_file/write_file_os_path -> write_owner_only swap for behavior drift: the open flags are the same WRONLY|CREAT|TRUNC and only the mode constant changes, and OSPathSliceZ is ZStr on non-Windows (src/paths/lib.rs:318), so the POSIX heap-profiler arm passing path_buf.slice_z() type-checks. I also looked at the { encoding, mode } options literal in v8.ts for prototype-chain reads of flag/signal/flush and treated that as a pre-existing concern of fs.writeFileSync with any options object, not something this PR introduces.
Extended reasoning...
The change replaces the 0o664 file-write helper with a 0o600 owner-only open at six profiler call sites in src/jsc and adds mode: 0o600 to the node:v8 writeHeapSnapshot write, plus tests pinning umask and asserting modes. It touches file-permission defaults (data exposure surface) and changes a Bun-native default for the .md outputs, which has an inline finding and an open design question from the author on where the helper should live, so a human decision is still needed.

🟣
src/js/node/v8.ts— Every v8.writeHeapSnapshot() call without a path names the file one month early, so a January snapshot is Heap-YYYY00DD-… and a December one shows 11. src/js/node/v8.ts:341 builds mm from date.getMonth(), which is 0-based, with no +1. Node's DiagnosticFilename uses tm_mon + 1, and Bun's own profilers do the same at src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs:220. The pre-existing test at test/js/bun/util/v8-heap-snapshot.test.ts:90 only matches \d{8}, so it certifies the wrong month. Fix: use date.getMonth() + 1 at v8.ts:341 and assert the real yyyymmdd in the write-default test.Why this was flagged
Any caller of v8.writeHeapSnapshot() with no argument reaches getDefaultHeapSnapshotPath at src/js/node/v8.ts:334-349; this PR adds a test and umask pinning on exactly that path (fixture write-default, test v8-heap-snapshot.test.ts:86-93). src/js/node/v8.ts:341 computes mm as date.getMonth().toString().padStart(2, "0"); JS getMonth() returns 0 for January, so the yyyymmdd part of the filename is off by one month for every call, and a January snapshot carries month 00. Node derives this filename from tm_mon + 1 (lib/internal/heap_utils / DiagnosticFilename), and Bun's CLI profilers use (tm.tm_mon + 1) at src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs:220, so the JS API disagrees with both. The PR's new assertion at test/js/bun/util/v8-heap-snapshot.test.ts:90 matches only /^Heap-\d{8}-\d{6}-.../ and now stats that file, so it locks in the format without catching the wrong month. The dismissal called it pre-existing; the base does behave this way, but it is a real user-visible defect on the same function the PR edits and tests. Remedy: date.getMonth() + 1, plus an exact date assertion in the write-default test.
Verification: pre-existing. Trigger: any
v8.writeHeapSnapshot()call with no path argument. Mechanism verified at src/js/node/v8.ts:341: JSDate#getMonth()is 0-based, so theyyyymmddportion ofHeap-${yyyy}${mm}${dd}-...(line 348) is one month early, with00for January. The/^Heap-\d{8}-\d{6}-\d+-\d+\.heapsnapshot$/assertion exists on the base. The base fails the same way by the same route.

🟡 (optional) Users who read a --cpu-prof-md or --heap-prof-md report from another uid (root in a container writing to a bind mount, sudo bun --cpu-prof-md) now get Permission denied; on the base branch the file is 0664 minus umask. The .md outputs have no Node counterpart, so this is a Bun-native default changed for Node parity, which REVIEW.md forbids. The md branch reaches write_owner_only at src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs:109 with the same hardcoded 0o600. Fix: give the write helper a mode parameter, pass 0o600 only for the .cpuprofile/.heapprofile outputs that mirror Node, and keep 0o664 for the two .md outputs (or record a maintainer ruling that the stricter default is wanted for them). [also at: src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs:84 - Users of the Bun-only --cpu-prof-md and --heap-prof-md outputs lose group/other read access on new .md files, a Bun-native default changed for Node parity. write_owner_only at src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs:84 hardcodes 0o600 and is the single writer for every profiler output, so the markdown files (no Node counterpart) go from 0o664 to 0o600 on create.]
Why this was flagged
bun --cpu-prof-md -e 1 or bun --heap-prof-md -e 1 run as uid 0 inside a container with the cwd bind-mounted from the host. stop_and_write_profile at src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs:75 calls write_profile_to_file(…, true), which at src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs:109 calls write_owner_only, whose open at src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs:84 hardcodes mode 0o600; the heap .md takes the same helper at src/jsc/BunHeapProfiler.rs:63 and :80. The host user, with a different uid, can no longer open the .md report; on the base branch File::write_file_os_path at src/sys/file.rs:392 created it 0o664 (0644 with umask 022) and the host user could read it. Node has no --cpu-prof-md/--heap-prof-md (node: bad option), so there is no Node behavior to match for these two files; the PR text itself notes REVIEW.md forbids a Bun-native default change for Node compatibility and leaves the decision to a maintainer. A mode argument on the helper keeps both the Node-parity change and the Bun-native default.
Verification: src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs:74-75 reaches line 109 and the retry at line 117; write_owner_only at lines 82-84 hardcodes openat_os_path(Fd::cwd(), path, FLAGS, 0o600). On the base both sites called File::write_file / write_file_os_path, which use 0o664 (src/sys/file.rs:381 and :392), so with umask 022 the .md file was 0644 and world-readable; after this change it is 0600 and a different uid gets EACCES.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Not changed in this push. The PR body asks a maintainer to rule on these two files, and this thread stays open for that answer.
The reason for the .md files is not Node parity. It is consistency with the file that the same run writes. bun --cpu-prof --cpu-prof-md would leave a 600 .cpuprofile beside a 644 .md that holds the same function names, RegExp sources and script paths. The heap .md holds function display names from the same heap as the 600 .heapprofile. Bun-native files moved to 0600 with no flag before: the REPL history in #31495 (src/runtime/cli/repl.rs:249) and the bytecode order file in #43811 (src/jsc/BytecodeOrderRecorder.rs:384).
The cost is the one you name: another uid loses read access to a new .md report. If a maintainer prefers the old mode for the two .md files, I will pass the mode for each format (0o600 for .cpuprofile and .heapprofile, 0o664 for .md) and change the .md rows of the tests to 644.

🟡 nit (optional): the owner-only write helper duplicates File::write_file_os_path with one constant changed and lives in the CPU profiler module, which the heap profiler then reaches into via crate::bun_cpu_profiler::write_owner_only. Fix: put the mode where the file-writing concept is owned, for example a mode parameter on File::write_file_os_path in src/sys/file.rs:386 (its only other caller is src/install/bin.rs:1239, which would pass 0o664), or a File::write_file_os_path_with_mode, and call that from both profilers.
Why this was flagged
src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs:82-85 adds write_owner_only, whose body is openat_os_path(Fd::cwd(), path, WRONLY|CREAT|TRUNC, 0o600)?.write_all(data); src/sys/file.rs:386-394 write_file_os_path is the same body with 0o664. src/jsc/BunHeapProfiler.rs:60,63,74,79 import it as crate::bun_cpu_profiler::write_owner_only, making the heap profiler depend on the CPU profiler module for a generic file write. The repository review rules ask that new helpers go on the type that owns the concept and that an existing path be parameterized rather than cloned. Behaviour is otherwise unchanged versus the base; this is a placement and duplication concern only, which the PR description itself raises as an open question.
Verification: nit. Acknowledged in diff: the PR description's "Question on the shape" section names this exact alternative. src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs:82-85 write_owner_only is byte-for-byte the same shape as src/sys/file.rs:386-394 write_file_os_path with 0o600 for 0o664. The heap profiler reaches across modules for it at src/jsc/BunHeapProfiler.rs:60, 63, 74-77, 79-82.

Not changed in this push. This is the "Question on the shape" in the PR body, and this thread stays open for a maintainer.
I compared the two shapes before I wrote the helper. They give the same syscalls, and the same code size on linux x64: write_owner_only is 494 B, and File::write_file_os_path::<Fd> goes from 500 B to 0 B because its other caller (src/install/bin.rs:1293) is Windows-only.
The trade-off is this. With a required mode argument on File::write_file_os_path, each caller must state a mode: open #41137 stops compiling until it does, and open #42626 only on Windows. With the local helper, src/sys and the 20 other File::write_file* call sites stay untouched, and the mode assertions in heap-prof.test.ts and cpu-prof.test.ts catch a profile that goes through another path.
If a maintainer prefers the argument, the change is small: add mode to File::write_file_os_path, pass 0o664 in src/install/bin.rs, pass 0o600 at the six profiler sites, and delete write_owner_only.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Update after the merge with main (52e9da8). The size statement in my reply above no longer holds.
#46021 gave the CPU profile write a second caller, the sampling profiler report, and that caller keeps File::write_file_os_path. So that function stays in the binary on POSIX, beside write_owner_only. On linux x64 release builds this PR now adds 1,024 B to .text (1,049 B size text). Before the merge, .text did not change.
With a mode argument on File::write_file_os_path, one function would serve both modes. I did not build or measure that shape. The measured numbers are in the PR body under "Measurements after the merge". This thread stays open for a maintainer.
…-snapshot-file-mode
Move the mode checks for v8.writeHeapSnapshot() out of v8-heap-snapshot.test.ts and its fixture, which are back to their state on main. That file needed a longer timeout on debug builds, and its fixture modes had changed for the new checks. The new tests in v8-module.test.ts spawn one process for each case: a new file at a path, a new file with the default name, and an existing file that keeps its mode.
The existing --heap-prof tests are back to their state on main. Three new cases check the mode: --heap-prof, --heap-prof-md, and --heap-prof with a missing --heap-prof-dir.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline nit, I also checked the two cfg(windows) arms that the POSIX-only tests cannot reach: 0o600 keeps the owner-write bit (0x80), so openat_windows_impl at src/sys/lib.rs:7160 does not set FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY and the Windows file is unchanged from 0o664; and on POSIX PathBuffer::slice_z() returns &ZStr, which is exactly OSPathSliceZ, so the heap profiler's two call sites type-check against the new helper. The file-wide timeout override and the shared-testScript edits from the previous round are no longer in this push.
Extended reasoning...
The change touches three write sites (src/js/node/v8.ts, src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs, src/jsc/BunHeapProfiler.rs) to create profiler and heap-snapshot files with mode 0o600 on creation, plus POSIX-only subprocess tests asserting the resulting modes. The security-sensitive surface is file permissions on files that can contain user string data, and the change only tightens them. Not approving because the PR explicitly leaves a design question for a maintainer (the Bun-only --cpu-prof-md/--heap-prof-md outputs also move to 0o600, with no Node counterpart) and the helper-placement thread from the prior round is still open in the code.

I reviewed the latest revision and didn't find any bugs; the test-side points from my earlier passes (file-wide timeout, shared testScript edit, serial subprocess tests) are addressed in these commits. The one thing still needing a human is the maintainer call the description itself asks for: whether the Bun-only --cpu-prof-md / --heap-prof-md outputs should also move to 0600, and whether the mode belongs as a parameter on File::write_file_os_path rather than a bun_jsc-local helper.
What was reviewed:
write_owner_onlytype compatibility: on POSIXOSPathSliceZisZStrandAutoAbsPathChecked::slice_z()returns&ZStr(the base already passed it towrite_file), so both heap-profiler arms line up;File::write_allis the inherentMaybe<()>method, notstd::io::Write.- Flags/mode semantics:
WRONLY|CREAT|TRUNCwith 0600 only applies on create, and the mkdir-then-retry path in both profilers goes through the same helper; the 1 MiB non-JSON seed in cpu-prof.test.ts would catch a droppedO_TRUNC. - Tests: stderr expectations match the code (CPU profiler is silent, heap
.mdprints "Heap profile written to:"), pipes are drained viaPromise.all, and the umask is pinned in the child so the asserted modes are deterministic.
Extended reasoning...
The change touches two Rust profiler writers in src/jsc (one new helper, six call sites rewired) and one options literal in src/js/node/v8.ts, plus three POSIX-only test additions; it changes file permission defaults for profiler/snapshot outputs, which is the only security-adjacent surface, and tightens rather than loosens them. The code is small and type-checks by inspection, and no CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed paths. Approval is withheld because the PR knowingly changes a Bun-native default (the .md outputs) for Node parity, which the repository review rules reserve for a maintainer decision, and the author explicitly requests that ruling and a ruling on the helper's placement.

…-snapshot-file-mode Conflict in src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs. On main (#46021) the CPU profile write lives in write_file_creating_dir, and the new sampling profiler report calls the same function. write_file_creating_dir now takes the function that opens and writes the file. The CPU profiler passes write_owner_only. The sampling profiler report passes File::write_file_os_path, so its mode does not change.

I re-reviewed the version merged with main and found no bugs; a maintainer look is still worthwhile because the PR itself asks for a ruling on two design points (0600 for the Bun-only .md outputs, and whether the owner-only writer stays in bun_jsc or becomes a mode argument in bun_sys).
What was reviewed:
- The new
writefn-pointer parameter onwrite_file_creating_dir: both the first open and the post-mkdir retry go through it, and the sampling-profiler report passes a non-capturing closure that keepswrite_file_os_path's 0o664, as the description states. write_owner_onlyisopenat_os_path(WRONLY|CREAT|TRUNC, 0o600)+write_all, the same body aswrite_file_os_pathwith only the mode changed;OSPathSliceZisZStron POSIX, so the heap profiler'spath_buf.slice_z()arms type-check against it.- Tests pin the umask inside the child, stat every entry under the temp dir via Glob, and cover both the overwrite-keeps-existing-mode and missing-dir-retry cases; the anchored stderr regex is stable because

Extended reasoning...
The diff touches three runtime files (src/js/node/v8.ts, src/jsc/BunCPUProfiler.rs, src/jsc/BunHeapProfiler.rs) and three test files, changing the create mode of heap snapshot and CPU/heap profile files from 0o664/default to 0o600 and threading a write function through write_file_creating_dir so the sampling-profiler report keeps its old mode. The security-relevant surface is file permission defaults on profiler output; the change only tightens them and applies no chmod to existing files. The latest commit is a merge with main that introduced the fn-pointer parameter and the second caller, which I verified are consistent. Approval is withheld because two of my earlier inline threads (the 0600 default for the Bun-only .md outputs, which REVIEW.md treats as a Bun-native default change, and the helper's placement) have author replies but no non-author resolution, and the PR description explicitly requests a maintainer ruling on both.
