Make the self accessor check its receiver - #47804
The self getter returns globalThis for any receiver. Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(globalThis, "self").get.call({}) returns globalThis instead of a TypeError. The setter has the same gap: set.call({}, 1) writes self on the real global.
The cause is functionGetSelf and functionSetSelf in src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp:1772. Neither reads callFrame->thisValue().
The Web IDL attribute getter and setter algorithms use the accessor's own global for a nullish receiver and throw a TypeError for a receiver that does not implement the global interface. Chromium, Firefox and WebKit throw. WPT checks this in webidl/ecmascript-binding/global-object-implicit-this-value.any.js.
Fix
Add selfAccessorThisObject, one helper that both halves of the accessor call. It runs WebCore::castThisValue<Zig::GlobalObject>, the receiver rule that the generated WebCore bindings already use, and throws ERR_INVALID_THIS when it returns null.
castThisValue maps null and undefined to the lexical global, unwraps the JSGlobalProxy that globalThis is from JS, and rejects everything else.
The setter now writes to the receiver it validated, not to the lexical global.
A node:repl with useGlobal: false copies the own properties of the main global onto a plain context object, self included. That copy now rejects the context as a receiver, so repl.ts copies the native accessor as a data property that points at the context, as it already does for global. A self that user code replaced is copied as it is.
Verified: test/js/bun/globals.test.js (three new cases: getter, setter, getter inside a Worker) and test/js/bun/repl/repl.test.ts (one new case). Also test/js/web/web-globals.test.js, test/aot/the-setter-of-self-says-so-where-it-is-refused.test.ts, test/js/node/vm/vm.test.ts and test/js/web/workers/.
Background
From JS, globalThis is a JSGlobalProxy object whose target() is the Zig::GlobalObject. A plain self read, globalThis.self, with (globalThis) { self } and Reflect.get(globalThis, "self", globalThis) all pass the proxy as the receiver, so they keep working.
onmessage and onerror on the same global keep their lenient fallback to the lexical global for a Proxy receiver. Fix type confusion assigning onmessage/onerror through a Proxy of globalThis #37053 chose that on purpose to keep the with (new Proxy(globalThis, {})) sandbox idiom working. This PR leaves them alone so a maintainer can decide whether that lenience stays separate.
Considered a check inlined in the getter only: it leaves the setter accepting {} while the getter rejects it, a split that no browser has. The shared helper keeps the rule in one place for both.
The AOT test and two AOT fixtures under test/aot/parallel/ called the setter with a {} receiver. They now use globalThis, which keeps their intent (the compiled build must not silently drop the write).
Downsides
Behaviour change: new Proxy(globalThis, {}).self, Object.create(globalThis).self and vm.runInNewContext("self", Object.create(globalThis)) returned the main global and now throw TypeError. Browsers throw for the first two. The same applies in the body of with (new Proxy(globalThis, {})), the sandbox idiom that Fix type confusion assigning onmessage/onerror through a Proxy of globalThis #37053 kept working for onmessage and onerror: self, typeof self and the feature test typeof self !== "undefined" ? a : b now throw there (table in Notes, with the has trap and Object.create(globalThis) rows).
Per call: one isUndefinedOrNull check, one type() compare and one dynamicDowncast in the getter. The old getter did no work. Nothing new per process.
The demand is a conformance report. No user program was observed to break under the old lenient read. No shipped package in test/node_modules reads .self through a wrapper of globalThis, and none runs a with body over one.
Notes
Self-reviewed: 3 concerns raised, 3 addressed (use castThisValue, cover the setter with the same helper, name the Proxy receiver change next to #37053).
Review findings after the first push: the two AOT fixtures that called the setter with {} (fixed in 0f35a3c), the useGlobal: false REPL context (fixed in 41d606c), and the missing error code assertions (added in 41d606c).
Edge probes on the fixed debug build:
with (globalThis) { self } -> globalThis
vm.runInNewContext("typeof self") -> "undefined" (unchanged, the vm global has no accessor)
vm.runInNewContext("self", Object.create(globalThis)) -> TypeError (was globalThis)
new Function("return self")() -> globalThis
(0, eval)("self") -> globalThis
Reads of self through a wrapper of the global, before and after this PR. P is new Proxy(globalThis, {}). H is P with a has trap that returns true. C is Object.create(globalThis). G is P with the get trap (t, k) => t[k]. Each row is the body of a sloppy function. The "before" column is the same on 1.3.14, 1.4.4 and main 6cdb383. The "PR" column is 5d12b13 merged onto 6cdb383 (debug build), where each TypeError has the code ERR_INVALID_THIS.

14 with (P) (0, eval)("typeof self") "object" "object"
15 with (G) typeof self "object" "object"
Rows 9 and 10 do not name self. They read it because it is an enumerable property of the global.
On main, no name on the global or its prototype chain throws when read through P or C (169 names). With the PR, self does.
A get trap that reads from the target is not affected (row 15). A get trap that forwards the receiver, Reflect.get(t, k, r), throws like row 2.
Deno 2.9.8 gives the "before" column for rows 1 to 10. Node 26.3.0 has no self, so row 2 gives "undefined" and row 3 gives b. Node's crypto getter rejects these receivers: with (P) typeof crypto throws ERR_INVALID_THIS in Node and gives "object" in Bun.
No browser was run for these rows. By ECMA-262, a with body read is Get(object, "self") with the with object as the receiver. So rows 1 to 7 are property reads with the wrapper as the receiver, like P.self and C.self.
A search of the .js, .cjs and .mjs files in test/node_modules finds two kinds of with statement that run: _.template (with (obj), the template data) and the jsdom event handler scope (with (arguments[0]), the jsdom window). Neither object is a wrapper of Bun's global.
test/js/node/vm/vm.test.ts and test/js/web/workers/ each have a few 5 s timeouts under the debug ASAN build. None of those tests touch self.

Walkthrough
The self getter and setter now validate their receivers. Nullish receivers use the accessor’s global, while invalid receivers throw TypeError. Non-global REPL contexts define self as the context.

Summary
Validate and use the accessor receiver src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp
The getter and setter validate the receiver. The getter returns the validated receiver’s globalThis, and the setter defines or updates self on that receiver.
Test accessor receiver behavior test/js/bun/globals.test.js, test/aot/*
Tests cover accepted and rejected getter and setter receivers, Reflect.get, proxy access, and getter behavior in a Worker. The AOT setter calls now use globalThis as their receiver.
Define self in non-global REPL contexts src/js/node/repl.ts, test/js/bun/repl/repl.test.ts
Each non-global REPL context defines an own self property whose value is that context. A regression test checks that self matches globalThis and global, and that self.fetch matches fetch.

Explanation
Issue #47793 requires the self getter to use the lexical global for nullish receivers and to throw TypeError for ordinary objects and primitives. selfAccessorThisObject applies WebCore::castThisValue<Zig::GlobalObject> to callFrame->thisValue(), and functionGetSelf returns the validated global. The added tests cover global, nullish, object, primitive, proxy, and Worker receivers, including ERR_INVALID_THIS.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes stay connected to self receiver behavior. The setter uses the same validation rule, and the REPL change preserves self for a separate context after the native accessor rejects that context. AOT fixture updates and regression tests support the changed accessor behavior. No unrelated product change is demonstrated.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template with both required sections: "What does this PR do?" and "How did you verify your code works?". The "What does this PR do?" content is detailed and specific. It names the problem, the root cause in functionGetSelf and functionSetSelf, the Web IDL basis, the fix via castThisValue, the node:repl change, and the behavior changes. The verification section lists new test cases in test/js/bun/globals.test.js and test/js/bun/repl/repl.test.ts, plus several existing test files run by the author. The author also says the repl.test.ts case was not run on their machine and was deferred to CI. Test evidence is therefore partial for that one file, but the description is still mostly complete. It is well above the threshold for PASS.

Add property-assignment coverage for an invalid self receiver.
241-242: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value
Add property-assignment coverage for an invalid self receiver.
The setter test calls the captured setter with set.call(receiver, ...). No test assigns to self through an invalid receiver with Reflect.set or another property-assignment form. The getter test covers the equivalent Reflect.get and Proxy forms, so the setter has no matching coverage. The direct call exercises the same receiver check, but this test would not catch a change in how the engine forwards the receiver during assignment.
Add an in-process test that restores the self descriptor in finally. If an assertion fails, a regression can replace the accessor with a data property and leave later tests affected.

Review comment at @test/js/bun/globals.test.js around lines 241 - 242:
Add an in-process test alongside the existing `self` setter coverage that
assigns through an invalid receiver using `Reflect.set` and verifies the
assignment throws a `TypeError`. Save the original `self` descriptor and restore
it in a `finally` block so a failed assertion cannot affect later tests.

Added assignment forms to the setter test in e2c199d: Reflect.set(globalThis, "self", v, {}), new Proxy(globalThis, {}).self = v and Object.create(globalThis).self = v each throw a TypeError. The test runs in a subprocess, so a failure cannot replace self for later tests in the file.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the throw-scope handling in functionGetSelf (the only throwing call is followed by RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION, and globalThis() cannot throw, so no release is needed on the tail) and the sibling onmessage/onerror accessors, which keep their lenient receiver fallback on purpose per the linked #37053 discussion rather than sharing the new helper.
Extended reasoning...
The change adds a receiver check to the global self getter/setter in src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp via a shared static helper built on WebCore::castThisValue, and the setter now writes to the validated receiver instead of the lexical global; it touches no security-sensitive surface. Inline findings cover the AOT parallel fixtures that still call the setter with a {} receiver, the mutated AOT fixture input, the node:repl useGlobal:false regression, and the missing error-code assertions, so a human should weigh those before merging.
Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.
…eceiver tests
A REPL with useGlobal: false copies the own properties of the main
global onto a plain context object. The copied self accessor now
rejects that object as a receiver, so define self on the context as a
data property that points at the context, as global already does.
Add an undefined receiver case to the self setter test.
The setter test calls the setter with null but never with undefined. The getter test covers both. A setter change that rejects or mishandles undefined would not fail this test.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
The AOT fixture, REPL, and error-assertion points from the earlier round are addressed in this push. Beyond the inline nit, I also checked castThisValue<Zig::GlobalObject> in src/jsc/bindings/JSDOMGlobalObject.h: it maps nullish to the lexical global, unwraps a JSGlobalProxy to its target, accepts any Zig::GlobalObject (Worker globals included) and runs no user code, so the new receiver check cannot re-enter JS; both accessors keep RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION after the throw, and the hasCompiledModules() branch still defines the property on the same global it did before. The remaining judgment call, that new Proxy(globalThis, {}).self and Object.create(globalThis).self now throw while onmessage/onerror stay lenient per #37053, is one a maintainer should weigh.
Extended reasoning...
The change adds a receiver check to the global self getter/setter in src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp via WebCore::castThisValue, gives the useGlobal: false node:repl context its own self data property in src/js/node/repl.ts, updates three AOT fixtures to use a globalThis receiver, and adds getter/setter/Worker/REPL tests. It touches no auth, crypto, or data-exposure surface. It is not approved outright because it is a user-visible behaviour change on a Web-standard global (wrapper receivers of globalThis now throw, including vm sandboxes built from Object.create(globalThis)) that intentionally diverges from the lenient Proxy fallback kept for onmessage/onerror, and one confirmed inline nit remains on the REPL override of a user-replaced self.
…global
A self that user code replaced with a data property is copied as it
is. A non-configurable native accessor becomes a non-configurable data
property instead of a define that throws.

I reviewed the latest push and didn't find any bugs; the points from my earlier reviews (the AOT fixtures, the useGlobal: false REPL context, the error-code assertions, and the data-descriptor guard in repl.ts) are addressed in the current code. A maintainer look is still worthwhile because the PR deliberately makes new Proxy(globalThis, {}).self and Object.create(globalThis).self throw while onmessage/onerror keep the lenient Proxy fallback from #37053 — whether that split should stand is a design call, not something this review can settle.
What was reviewed:
selfAccessorThisObject through castThisValue/toJSDOMGlobalObject: nullish receiver resolves to the lexical global, a JSGlobalProxy is unwrapped to its Zig::GlobalObject target, anything else yields null and routes to ERR_INVALID_THIS via the ErrorCode machinery; both accessors now declare the throw scope at the top and check it before using the result.
The setter writes to the validated receiver; with hasCompiledModules() the defineOwnProperty target is the same object as before when the receiver is globalThis, so the AOT locked-name path is unchanged.
repl.ts: no src/js/ahead-of-time/ twin exists for repl, and only a descriptor with get is replaced, so a user-assigned data self still copies through to the context.
New tests pin the exact name/code/message, drain stdout and stderr concurrently, and exercise the Worker global.
Extended reasoning...
The change adds a receiver check to the native self getter/setter in src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp (about 24 lines) using the existing WebCore castThisValue rule and Bun::throwError, adjusts src/js/node/repl.ts so a useGlobal: false context gets self as a data property pointing at itself, updates three AOT fixtures to use globalThis as the setter receiver, and adds tests in globals.test.js and repl.test.ts. It touches no auth, crypto, or injection surface; it is a Web IDL conformance change on a global accessor. The code is small and the exception-check and ownership patterns match the surrounding bindings, and all prior inline findings from this bot were addressed in later commits. Deferring rather than approving because the PR intentionally changes observable behavior for Proxy and prototype-chain receivers of self while leaving the sibling onmessage/onerror accessors lenient, which is a maintainer-level design decision, and a third-party reviewer inline comment on repl.ts remains unresolved by anyone other than a later author commit.
Updated the description: Downsides now names one more behaviour change.
In the body of with (new Proxy(globalThis, {})), a read of self now throws TypeError. That includes typeof self and the feature test typeof self !== "undefined" ? a : b. A Proxy with a has trap and with (Object.create(globalThis)) give the same result. All of these work on 1.3.14, 1.4.4 and main. #37053 kept this idiom working for onmessage and onerror.
The table is in Notes, with the controls and the same rows on Node and Deno. No code changed.
