What does this PR do?

Independent fixes, following #47559, #47567, #47591 and #47671. The node:crypto behaviour below was compared with Node v26.12.1.

X509Certificate

  • checkHost(), checkEmail(), checkIP(), checkIssued(), checkPrivateKey() and verify() validate their arguments as Node does, with its codes and messages. A name of undefined was read as "undefined", an array or a function was taken for options, and checkIP() did not look at its options. checkIP.length is 2.
  • The options are validated in the order of getFlags(): every type first, then the value of subject. Like its { ...options }, only own enumerable properties count. Inherited and non-enumerable ones were read too.
  • checkHost("") is undefined, not an error.
  • validFromDate and validToDate come from the time in the certificate, through upstream ncrypto's getValidFromTime() and getValidToTime(). They were parsed back from the printed date, which put the years 0 to 99 in the 1900s and 2000s.
  • new X509Certificate() of something that is not a certificate throws the library's error, with code, library and reason. The code was ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_STATE.
  • The values of infoAccess in the legacy certificate object are the values themselves, as in Node. One that had to be escaped was left as a JSON string. That object is what toLegacyObject(), getPeerCertificate(), getCertificate() and checkServerIdentity() give.
  • Deleted: throwBoringSSLError(), which has no caller left, and the message parameter of handleMatchResult().

Bun.password

  • hash() and verify() take what hashSync() and verifySync() take, which is what their types say: a string or bytes.
  • This changes what is accepted. They called toString() on any other value but undefined. await Bun.password.hash(1234) gave a hash, await Bun.password.verify(null, hash) gave false, and Bun.password.verify(password, null) gave a promise that rejects. All three now throw a TypeError with ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE from the call itself, before there is a promise, as they already did for undefined. Pass String(1234).

Bun.CryptoHasher

  • digest(typedArray) needs room for the digest, which is byteLength. It asked for 64 bytes with every algorithm, so the example in the docs, digest(new Uint8Array(32)) with sha256, threw. What it writes is unchanged.
  • A hasher with a key that was already digested says so before it looks at the argument of digest().

How did you verify your code works?

File What it covers
test/js/node/crypto/x509.test.ts The name and the options of checkHost(), checkEmail() and checkIP(), options that are inherited or not enumerable, names that cannot be one, the arguments of checkIssued(), checkPrivateKey() and verify(). Validity in the years 0 to 99. Text, nothing, other DER and bad base64 given to the constructor. The legacy infoAccess of Node's x509-escaping fixtures, from toLegacyObject() and, over a TLS connection, from getPeerCertificate(), getCertificate() and checkServerIdentity().
test/js/bun/util/password.test.ts Eleven kinds of value that are neither a string nor bytes, as the password of hash() and as the password and the hash of verify(), in the async and the sync forms. An ArrayBuffer, a SharedArrayBuffer, a DataView and a Uint16Array as the password and as the hash.
test/js/bun/util/bun-cryptohasher.test.ts For every algorithm, and for every one that takes a key: an array of exactly byteLength, of one more and of 100 more bytes gets the digest and nothing else, and one byte less throws. shake128 and shake256 fill the array, and the result is that of createHash(algorithm, { outputLength }).

Of the 66 new tests, the 50 that cover a change fail on Bun 1.4.4. The other 16 are rows for what stays the same: years from 100, the sync forms, the kinds of bytes, 64-byte digests, and checkIP() with inherited options, which it did not read. All pass on a debug build with ASAN, also with BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1.

Changed tests: the five "rejects a body with ..." rows of x509.test.ts expected ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_STATE and expect the library's code. The two tests named "coercion throwing doesn't crash" in password.test.ts are rows of the new ones, since nothing is coerced.

Two scripts ran the same calls on Node v26.12.1, on Bun 1.4.4 and on this branch. Of 142 calls with odd arguments, dates and certificates, 70 that differed from Node now give its result. Of 756 checkHost(), checkEmail() and checkIP() calls, 138 do. No call that gave Node's result gives another one now.

The 161 tests under test/js/node/test/parallel whose names start with test-crypto, test-webcrypto or test-tls-check-server-identity pass, and so do test-tls-peer-certificate.js, test-tls-peer-certificate-encoding.js, test-tls-peer-certificate-multi-keys.js, test-tls-getcertificate-x509.js, test-tls-translate-peer-certificate.js and test-tls-cert-ext-encoding.js.

A string, an ArrayBuffer or a view, as their types say. Anything else is a
TypeError. They called toString() on any other value but undefined, so
`await Bun.password.hash(1234)` worked and now throws.

It asked for 64 bytes with every algorithm, so a sha256 digest did not go into
32 bytes. With shake128 and shake256 it filled the whole array, and now writes
`byteLength` bytes.

Both got "==". sha1 and sha512 are written as before. The reader does not
look at the padding, so lockfiles written before read as before.

Walkthrough

The changes update X.509 certificate parsing, validation, InfoAccess values, and validity dates. They also adjust CryptoHasher output-buffer requirements and password input handling, with tests for these behaviors.

Changes

X.509 behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Certificate parsing and InfoAccess values
src/jsc/bindings/JSX509Certificate.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/ErrorCode.*, test/js/node/crypto/x509.test.ts
Certificate parse failures use crypto errors. Quoted InfoAccess values are parsed as JSON. Tests cover PEM errors and legacy InfoAccess values.
X.509 method and option validation
src/jsc/bindings/JSX509CertificatePrototype.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/JSX509Certificate.cpp, test/js/node/crypto/x509.test.ts
Certificate checks validate arguments and options. Invalid name matches use a shared error. Tests cover argument types and option rules.
Certificate validity dates
src/jsc/bindings/ncrypto.h, src/jsc/bindings/ncrypto.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/JSX509CertificatePrototype.cpp, test/js/node/crypto/x509.test.ts
X509View exposes optional validity timestamps. The date getters use those timestamps, with tests for boundary years.

CryptoHasher output buffers

Layer / File(s) Summary
Digest output length and tests
src/runtime/crypto/CryptoHasher.rs, packages/bun-types/bun.d.ts, test/js/bun/util/bun-cryptohasher.test.ts
The minimum output-buffer size matches the hasher’s digest length. Tests cover fixed-length and SHAKE algorithms, buffer capacity, and trailing bytes.

Password input validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Password inputs and argument tests
src/runtime/crypto/PasswordObject.bind.ts, test/js/bun/util/password.test.ts
The copied password binding no longer specifies string conversion or undefined refusal. Tests cover unsupported values and byte-buffer inputs for hash and verify operations.

Add a positive async hash test for a raw ArrayBuffer password.

The new test checks only rejected values. Existing async tests pass a Buffer, which is a view, but no test passes a raw ArrayBuffer to hash and checks a successful result. A regression that rejects ArrayBuffer in async hash would leave the suite passing. Add a test that hashes and verifies an ArrayBuffer password.

Add a repeated-key case to the legacy infoAccess test.

Add a fixture with two entries that share an access method and location type. Make the second value contain a newline, and assert both decoded values under the same key.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Test gap: every new date case has a convertible validity time. A regression that returns undefined rather than the newly specified invalid Date when getValidFromTime or getValidToTime returns nullopt would pass these cases.

The changed date tests could pass despite the date getter returning the wrong value on conversion failure.

This can occur when: A parsed certificate contains a validity field for which ASN1_TIME_to_posix fails.

CI: none of the failures are from this PR.

  • Build #137144 (9aeed23) has 41 failing files. 40 of them are AOT tests: test/aot/ and test/bundler/compile-aot-size.test.ts.
  • Those 40 are the 40 files that fail in main's own build at this branch's base, #137130 (01ec085). That commit is still the tip of main, so there is no fix to merge in yet. This PR does not touch the AOT compiler or its tests.
  • The other one is test/js/web/request/request-clone-leak.test.ts, on the ASAN job only. It measured an RSS delta of 64 MB against a limit of < 64. The other large samples in the same run were 49 to 56 MB. This PR does not touch Request. The same test failed on the same job in crash handler: write the crash report without heap allocations #47742, which is unrelated.
  • The four macOS x64 test jobs expired waiting for an agent and are queued again, so that platform has not run yet. macOS arm64 has.

I cannot re-run jobs from here. I will merge main once it has a fix.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked that the integrity padding change does not break reading existing lockfiles: Integrity::parse_entry (src/install/integrity.rs:127-132) strips all trailing = before decoding, so sha256/sha384 rows written with the old == still parse under --frozen-lockfile. I also checked the Bun.password change against the sync forms — hashSync/verifySync already used the plain stringOrBuffer parser, so async and sync now share the same accepted set.

Extended reasoning...

The change touches node:crypto X509Certificate argument validation and date computation in C++ bindings, Bun.password's generated argument parser, Bun.CryptoHasher digest output sizing, and the bun.lock integrity Display path, with tests added for each. Inline findings already cover the cache tag mismatch for sha256/sha384 tarballs, the SHAKE XOF truncation, the lambda check macro, the checkIP message, and inherited-key handling in getFlags; this note only records two adjacent concerns I verified from the code and ruled out.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

The same text is written to the `.bun-tag` of an extracted tarball and compared
with it on every install, so a tarball pinned by sha256 or sha384 in a cache
written before would never verify.

With them the length of the array is the length of the output, as before. Only
the least size changes, to `byteLength`. The test compares the output with
createHash(algorithm, { outputLength }), and covers every algorithm that takes
a key.

- getFlags() reads what Node's `{ ...options }` has. Inherited and
  non-enumerable properties were read too.
- It validates the four booleans in a loop of its own, not in a lambda, and
  sets the flags afterwards.
- checkEmail() and checkIP() look at the options before they take the view of
  the string, like checkHost(). checkIP.length is 2.
- getValidFromTime() and getValidToTime() are where upstream ncrypto has them.
- throwBoringSSLError() has no caller left.
- Tests: `reason`, a function as options, and `infoAccess` in the certificates
  of a TLS connection.

A password and a hash can be an ArrayBuffer, a SharedArrayBuffer, a DataView or
a Uint16Array, in the async and the sync forms. The two tests about a coercion
that throws are rows of the new ones, since nothing is coerced.

Nitpick Add a nonzero-offset view case to the password byte-input tests.

340-343: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a nonzero-offset view case to the password byte-input tests.

The new test.concurrent.each table wraps only full buffers: bytes.buffer for an ArrayBuffer, a same-length copy for a SharedArrayBuffer, and DataView and Uint16Array over bytes.buffer. Each view starts at byte 0 and spans the whole backing buffer. A converter that ignores byteOffset or byteLength passes every assertion. Add a case where the view covers only a middle slice of a larger buffer.

Suggested test case
   ["a Uint16Array", (bytes: Uint8Array<ArrayBuffer>) => new Uint16Array(bytes.buffer)],
+  [
+    "a subarray of a larger buffer",
+    (bytes: Uint8Array<ArrayBuffer>) => {
+      const padded = new Uint8Array(bytes.length + 8);
+      padded.set(bytes, 4);

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

Beyond the two inline nits, I re-checked the follow-up commits: the new getOwnOption() in JSX509CertificatePrototype.cpp has an exception check after both getOwnPropertyDescriptor and get, so a Proxy or throwing getter on the options object propagates instead of being read as a flag, and the Bun.CryptoHasher change is now only the minimum-length check in digest(), so shake128/shake256 still squeeze into the whole TypedArray. Still crypto-adjacent native code, so a maintainer look remains worthwhile.

Extended reasoning...

The current version touches node:crypto X509Certificate argument validation and date getters in the C++ bindings, a one-line CryptoHasher minimum-length change, a PasswordObject.bind.ts input-type tightening, and tests for each. The integrity-padding and shake-output changes from the earlier version were reverted in later commits and no longer appear in the diff. The X509 validation and getFlags rewrite are the security-sensitive surface; the own-property lookup and exception checks were verified by reading the code. Only nit-level findings remain, but the crypto binding code is not simple enough for an unattended approve.

…p to an offset hour of 12

#47820 moved validFromDate / validToDate off the printed text, onto a
strict conversion that refuses the offset form. Both pairs of X509View
validity functions now share one helper for that form. It is taken only
for a 17-byte UTCTime, so every other time stays on ASN1_TIME_print and
ASN1_TIME_to_posix.

The helper refuses an offset hour above 12, as OpenSSL does.
