What does this PR do?

Independent fixes. The behaviour below was compared with Node v26.12.1.

WebCrypto

  • crypto.subtle.generateKey() makes an RSA key on the thread pool. It was made on the JS thread before the call returned, which held up everything else for about 100 ms with 2048 bits and 500 ms with 4096 bits. A hundred 2048-bit keys asked for at once took 7.3 s with no timer firing, and take 0.4 s on 32 cores. SubtleCrypto::generateKey() already says that RSA keys are made in an async task, and CryptoKeyRSA::generatePair() already took callbacks and the context for it. The calls that make the key are the same, with a ClearErrorOnReturn for the error queue of the pool thread. PhonyWorkQueue::dispatch(), which uses no state, is now static.
  • The promise of an operation is a GC root until it is settled. A DeferredPromise is held only by its realm, so in a ShadowRealm that nothing else holds, the realm was collected while the thread pool worked and the promise never settled. This was so for digest(), encrypt(), sign() and deriveBits(), and would have been for RSA keys. The roots are dropped in ScriptExecutionContext::prepareForDestruction(), so an operation that is left under way does not keep a global of bun test --isolate alive. unwrapKey() read the global of its promise once the thread pool was done. Under --isolate that global can be collected by then, so it now stops when the promise is suspended.
  • In importKey() and unwrapKey(), "raw-public" stands for "raw" only for ECDSA, ECDH, Ed25519 and X25519, and "raw-secret" only for HKDF and PBKDF2, as in Node since 26.4.0. "raw-secret" imported public keys and "raw-public" imported secrets. For an RSA key the error names the format that was given.
  • unwrapKey() unwraps the key before it refuses a format, so data that cannot be unwrapped is an OperationError. A wrapped JWK without kty is a DataError, which is the last step of parse a JWK.
  • exportKey() and wrapKey() reject with InvalidAccessError when the key is of the wrong type for the format, as in Node: "raw-public" of an EC, Ed25519, X25519, ML-DSA or ML-KEM private key, "spki" of an ML-DSA or ML-KEM private key, and "pkcs8" or "raw-seed" of an ML-DSA or ML-KEM public key. It was NotSupportedError.
  • An ML-DSA or ML-KEM JWK with a usage that the key cannot have is refused with SyntaxError before its members are looked at, as in Node. It was DataError.

node:crypto

  • write() of hex with an odd length to a Hash, Hmac, Cipheriv or Decipheriv leaves out the last digit. It threw out of write(), and the stream never finished. update() still throws: in Node only update() has the check.
  • write() to a Hash or Hmac after digest() fails with ERR_CRYPTO_HASH_UPDATE_FAILED, as in Node since 26.4.0. The chunk was dropped without an error.
  • Another outputEncoding in a later update() or final() of a cipher throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE, as in Node. It was ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION.

Types

  • The docs of Bun.password.verify() said that it throws whenever algorithm does not match the hash. They now say what each mismatch does.

How did you verify your code works?

File What it covers
test/js/web/crypto/web-crypto.test.ts The promise of generateKey() is pending when the call returns, for the three RSA algorithms and for a key that cannot be made. digest() settles in a ShadowRealm that is dropped and collected. The raw formats in importKey() and unwrapKey(). unwrapKey() of data that cannot be unwrapped, and of a JWK without kty. The errors of exportKey() and wrapKey(). The usages of a JWK.
test/js/node/crypto/crypto-lazyhash.test.ts Hex with an odd length in write() of the four streams. write() after digest().

These fail without the change. The others pass with and without it, and hold what must stay:

  • The process stays alive until an RSA key is made, a Worker can be terminated while it makes one, and one is made in a dropped ShadowRealm.
  • update() of the four streams still refuses hex with an odd length, and a Hash takes an empty chunk after digest().
  • test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts: the globals of eight isolated test files are collected although each leaves a deriveBits() of some minutes under way: in the file, in a ShadowRealm and from a close handler. It fails with the roots and without the line in prepareForDestruction().
  • test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts: an unwrapKey() ends after the global of its file was collected. Without the change it fails on the debug and ASAN builds, which check references for null.
  • test/js/bun/util/password.test.ts: what verify() does with each algorithm that is not the hash's, as the docs now say.

Two tests held what Node did before 26.4.0 and now hold the opposite: "raw-public import of an RSA key reports Node's aliased-format message" and "%s drops a chunk written after digest()".

From Node v26.12.1, unchanged: test-webcrypto-raw-format-aliases.js is new, and test-crypto-encoding-validation-error.js, test-webcrypto-export-import-ml-dsa.js and test-webcrypto-export-import-ml-kem.js are brought up to date. The four fail without this change.

subtle.generateKey() made an RSA key on the JS thread before it returned.
The same BoringSSL calls now run on the thread pool, and the result is
posted back to the context.

"raw-public" stands for "raw" only for public keys and "raw-secret" only
for HKDF and PBKDF2. Exporting a key of the wrong type for the format is
an InvalidAccessError, and an ML-DSA or ML-KEM JWK is refused for its
usages before its key_ops are compared.

write() of hex with an odd length to a Hash, Hmac, Cipheriv or Decipheriv
threw and left the stream unfinished. As in Node, only update() has that
check. write() to a Hash or Hmac after digest() now fails with
ERR_CRYPTO_HASH_UPDATE_FAILED instead of dropping the chunk, and changing
the outputEncoding of a cipher throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE.

The docs of Bun.password.verify() no longer say that it throws when the
algorithm does not match the hash.

The promise of an operation is now a GC root until it is settled. It was
held only by its realm, so a ShadowRealm that nothing else holds was
collected while the thread pool worked, and the promise never settled.

unwrapKey() looks at the format after it has unwrapped the key, and a
wrapped JWK without kty is a DataError, as in the specification.

Also shorter tests, a 2048-bit key in the Worker test, and comments in
the RSA files that described the old aliasing.

Co-authored-by: dylanc <dylanc@anthropic.com>
The flag that _transform passes is called `checked` on both sides.
getDecoder() reads decoder.encoding once, which the lint asks for.

The AOT program that wrote to a hash after digest() expected the chunk to
be dropped. An Hmac with an empty chunk after digest() has a test, and the
docs of Bun.password.verify() say what each mismatch does.

Walkthrough

Node crypto stream updates now use unchecked native update behavior where required, and decoder encoding changes report a different error. WebCrypto changes update format aliasing, validation, export errors, RSA key generation, and pending promise management. Password verification documentation and tests describe Argon2 and bcrypt interpretation.

Changes

Node crypto streams

Layer / File(s) Summary
Unchecked stream updates
src/js/node/crypto.ts, src/js/private.d.ts, src/jsc/bindings/node/crypto/*, test/js/node/crypto/crypto-lazyhash.test.ts
Native hash, HMAC, and cipher updates support unchecked calls. Stream transforms use these paths. Tests cover writes after finalization and odd-length hexadecimal input.
Decoder encoding error
src/js/node/crypto.ts, test/js/node/test/parallel/test-crypto-encoding-validation-error.js
Changing a decoder to a different valid encoding now reports ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE. Tests check the error code, type, and message pattern.

WebCrypto formats and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Raw-format aliases and unwrap validation
src/jsc/bindings/webcrypto/SubtleCrypto.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/webcrypto/CryptoAlgorithmRSA*, test/js/node/test/parallel/test-webcrypto-raw-format-aliases.js, test/js/web/crypto/web-crypto.test.ts
Import and export aliasing is restricted by algorithm and key type. Unwrap validation follows unwrapping and JWK parsing. RSA import comments describe format dispatch.
AKP JWK and export validation
src/jsc/bindings/webcrypto/CryptoAlgorithmAKPShared.h, test/js/node/test/parallel/test-webcrypto-export-import-ml-*, test/js/web/crypto/web-crypto.test.ts
AKP JWK usage checks run before parameter checks. Tests cover key-type-specific export errors and JWK validation order for ML-DSA and ML-KEM.

Asynchronous WebCrypto operations

Layer / File(s) Summary
RSA generation and promise management
src/jsc/bindings/webcrypto/CryptoKeyRSAOpenSSL.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/webcrypto/PhonyWorkQueue.h, src/jsc/bindings/webcrypto/SubtleCrypto.*, src/jsc/bindings/ScriptExecutionContext.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.h, test/js/web/crypto/web-crypto.test.ts, test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts
RSA key generation runs on a work-queue task and posts completion to the script execution context. Pending promise entries retain JavaScript roots that are cleared during context destruction. Tests cover generation, process and worker behavior, operation settlement, and isolated-context cleanup.

Password verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Algorithm-directed verification
packages/bun-types/bun.d.ts, test/js/bun/util/password.test.ts
The documentation and tests describe when Argon2 and bcrypt hashes do not match or are invalid under the specified algorithm.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner, cirospaciari

Merge Risk: Low · up to 2260b

The changes retain a bounded isolation-cleanup leak: crypto operations started by socket close callbacks can keep retired test globals alive until completion. Address this cleanup gap or explicitly accept it as follow-up; the earlier teardown timeout and graph-disposal concerns do not establish additional merge-blocking risk.

Explanation

The title "Fixes in WebCrypto and in the streams of node:crypto" names the two areas the PR touches, which matches the changeset. It is broad and does not name the main change, which covers several separate fixes. It is also not vague or misleading. Per the criteria, a partially related or overly broad title passes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's two sections: 'What does this PR do?' and 'How did you verify your code works?'. It states the intent of each change, links Node v26.12.1 references, and covers the WebCrypto, node:crypto, and Types changes. It also gives a verification table listing test files and says which tests fail without the change. The description states that the changes are independent fixes, but the summary of the Types change is short. Overall, the description is detailed and specific, and it is mostly complete.

CI on caaefe6, #138451. It has finished, and one file is red. Every other job of every lane passed.

test/aot/loader-access-in-unreachable-code.test.ts on Debian 13 aarch64: the executable of an-export-nobody-imports is more than 32 KB larger than the plain one. It is green on main (#138398, 2596ac5).

It does not come from this change. The same case fails on the same lane, with the same numbers, in builds of five other branches that start from that commit of main: #138452, #138457, #138458, #138463 and #138464.

What it looks like, measured on x64:

  • The tables in the images of the two programs end at 0x5BE10 and 0x5FE60, 16,464 bytes apart. A build of main's sources and a build of this branch give the same offset and size for all 27 sections of both images.
  • computeImageExtent() rounds the end of the tables up to imagePageSize. That is 16 KB on x64 and 64 KB on Linux arm64, where CeilingOnPageSize is 64 KB.
  • With those sizes and pages of 64 KB, both ends round up to 0x60000, the second with 416 bytes to spare. A few hundred bytes more in the tables put the two programs one page apart, and one page is 64 KB where the test allows 32 KB.

main has no fix to pick up yet, and this PR leaves the test as it is. One possible fix is a limit in expectNoGrowth() that is never less than one page of the image. The job could not be re-run from here.

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 two memory-safety points the native changes raise: the new JSC::Strong root in PendingPromises::Entry is dropped on every settle path (every callback goes through getPromise, which takes the entry, and the two new rejection paths in unwrapKey call remove), and the RSA generatePair pool lambda only touches copied POD/Vector state and defers all CryptoKeyRSA::create and callback work to the JS thread via postTaskTo -- the same shape as the existing digest/sign/encrypt jobs, so worker termination mid-job is no worse than before.

Extended reasoning...

The change moves WebCrypto RSA key generation onto the thread pool, adds a GC root for pending SubtleCrypto promises, rewrites raw-format aliasing for importKey/unwrapKey/exportKey, and changes the node:crypto Hash/Hmac/Cipher stream update contract, with ported Node test files edited. It touches crypto and threading surfaces, which is why a human look remains warranted alongside the inline finding.

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

  • 🟡 src/jsc/bindings/node/crypto/JSHmac.cpp — nit: a non-finalized HMAC update failure still throws out of the stream's _transform instead of returning false like the Hash twin. In src/jsc/bindings/node/crypto/JSHmac.cpp:170 and :176 the failure path ignores checked, while JSHash.cpp routes every failure through updateFailed(). Fix: when checked is false, return jsBoolean(false) on every update failure in jsHmacProtoFuncUpdate (both the string and the ArrayBufferView branch), so Hash.prototype._transform turns it into ERR_CRYPTO_HASH_UPDATE_FAILED via callback instead of a synchronous throw from write().

    Why this was flagged

    Hmac.prototype._transform in src/js/node/crypto.ts:451 is now Hash.prototype._transform, which calls native update() with the 4th argument false and expects false back on failure (src/js/private.d.ts:98 documents this contract). In src/jsc/bindings/node/crypto/JSHmac.cpp:133 checked is computed, but only the m_finalized branch at :137 honours it; the two !hmac->update(...) failure branches at :170 and :176 always throw ERR_CRYPTO_HASH_UPDATE_FAILED. If HMAC_Update ever fails on a live context, the error is thrown synchronously out of write() rather than delivered through callback() as the Hash path does and as Node's _transform does. The trigger (HMAC_Update failing on an un-finalized context) is essentially unreachable in practice, so this is consistency-level only; the base branch threw there as well.

    Verification: src/jsc/bindings/node/crypto/JSHmac.cpp:133 computes bool checked, but the two !hmac->update(...) failure branches at :169-171 and :175-177 unconditionally return Bun::ERR::CRYPTO_HASH_UPDATE_FAILED(scope, globalObject);. Triggering condition: HMACCtxPointer::update returning false on a non-finalized Hmac. The base branch already threw on this path too.

I re-reviewed the latest revision (through the Hmac parity commit) and found no bugs; because this changes WebCrypto key import/export semantics and the RSA generateKey thread hop, and touches CODEOWNER-owned .d.ts files, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • RSA generatePair pool-thread hop: the capture set (context identifier + loop kind, move-only callbacks holding only index/WeakPtr) mirrors the existing dispatchAlgorithmOperation shape, and EvpPKeyPtr results are moved back to the JS thread before any CryptoKeyRSA::create.
  • PendingPromises Strong root: added/taken/removed only on the JS thread under the existing add/get/take/remove call sites; every unwrapKey early-return in the callback (including the new kty and alias checks) removes its entry before rejecting.
  • aliasImportKeyFormat/aliasExportKeyFormat rewrite against both callers and the per-algorithm importKey fallthroughs; format is captured mutably in the unwrapKey lambda so the alias applies after decryption.
  • Hash/Hmac/Cipher _transform all pass the unchecked flag at the index each native update() reads (arg 3 for Hash/Hmac, arg 2 for Cipher); Hmac shares Hash's _transform and Decipheriv shares Cipheriv's, so all four streams get the same path.
Extended reasoning...

The diff moves RSA key generation in WebCrypto onto the thread pool, adds a JSC::Strong GC root per pending SubtleCrypto promise, rewrites the raw-public/raw-secret/raw-seed aliasing for importKey/unwrapKey/exportKey/wrapKey, changes AKP export error classes to InvalidAccessError, and makes node:crypto Hash/Hmac/Cipher stream writes skip the odd-hex and finalized checks while surfacing a failed update as ERR_CRYPTO_HASH_UPDATE_FAILED. It is crypto-surface code (key import/export validation, cross-thread promise lifetime) and modifies packages/bun-types/bun.d.ts and src/js/private.d.ts, which .github/CODEOWNERS assigns to a specific owner. The hunt exited on dry_streak with no findings and the new native code follows the existing dispatchAlgorithmOperation pattern, but the security-sensitive surface and CODEOWNER-owned files rule out approving without a human.

A WebCrypto operation left under way kept the global of its test file
alive under `bun test --isolate`, for as long as the operation took, and
for good if its result was posted during the swap of the globals.
ScriptExecutionContext::prepareForDestruction() now clears the pending
promises, for the global, its ShadowRealms and a VM that is torn down.

Also a test for what Bun.password.verify() does with an algorithm that is
not the hash's.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the new JSC::Strong root in PendingPromises (SubtleCrypto.h) — DeferredPromise only holds a JSC::Weak on the promise (JSDOMGuardedObject.h:60), so the root is needed, and it is dropped on every settle path plus prepareForDestruction() before VM teardown — and the RSA key generation move to the pool thread (CryptoKeyRSAOpenSSL.cpp): only OpenSSL work runs off-thread, CryptoKeyRSA::create and the callbacks run in the postTaskTo task, and all three callers pass a non-null context.

Extended reasoning...

The change moves RSA keygen in WebCrypto onto the thread pool, adds a Strong GC root per pending SubtleCrypto promise cleared at context destruction, rewrites raw-* key format aliasing for import/export/unwrap, and makes node:crypto Hash/Hmac/Cipher stream _transform use an unchecked native update. It touches crypto paths but no auth, injection or data-exposure surface. The one surviving finding concerns the new isolation tests hanging under BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT; the ruled-out items above are the GC-root justification and the thread affinity of the pool-thread keygen path.

764-764: Minor · Potential issue · Poor tradeoff

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

Clearing the map releases the DeferredPromise objects while outstanding callbacks still identify operations by their raw addresses. A later operation on the same SubtleCrypto could reuse an address and be mistaken for the cleared operation.

The stale completion could settle the newer promise with the wrong result or error.

This can occur when: A retired realm's SubtleCrypto remains accessible and starts another operation before an already-queued completion from the retired operation runs.

- Around line 2398-2400: Replace the effectively unbounded PBKDF2 work in the

BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1.
- Around line 2411-2415: Update the PBKDF2 `deriveBits` checks in the
`ShadowRealm` isolation test to observe both fulfillment and rejection, and
assert each derivation remains pending before its fixture finishes. Preserve the
existing setup and avoid letting an immediately settled promise count as
evidence of pending-operation cleanup.

Review comments at @test/js/bun/util/password.test.ts:

BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT, which the sanitizer lanes set for every child,
waits for the thread pool at exit, so the two fixtures that leave a
deriveBits() of some minutes under way never exited there.

I re-reviewed the latest push and found no new bugs; because this touches WebCrypto key generation, promise rooting across the thread pool, and node:crypto error semantics, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • Commit 9f0b071 resolves the earlier isolation-fixture hang: BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT: "0" is parsed as falsy by string_is_truthy in src/bun_core/env_var.rs, so the child exits without waiting on the endless deriveBits().
  • Checked the Worker-terminate test in test/js/web/crypto/web-crypto.test.ts for a per-test timeout risk on debug/ASAN lanes — a single 2048-bit keygen is well within budget.
  • Checked that PendingPromises roots are dropped on prepareForDestruction() and that the pool-thread RSA keygen lambda only touches the JS heap after postTaskTo lands back on the JS thread.
Extended reasoning...

The diff spans 24 files: RSA generatePair moved to PhonyWorkQueue with results marshalled back via postTaskTo, a new PendingPromises class holding JSC::Strong roots cleared from ScriptExecutionContext::prepareForDestruction(), Node-aligned raw-format aliasing and error classes in importKey/unwrapKey/exportKey/wrapKey, and an unchecked update() mode for Hash/Hmac/Cipher stream writes plus new tests. It touches cryptographic key generation and import/export paths, which are security-sensitive. The only change since the prior review is the one-commit fix to the isolation test fixtures, which addresses the previously flagged hang. The hunt ran dry with no new findings, but the size and the crypto/threading surface keep this out of auto-approve territory.

The entries stay in the map until their operations end, as before the
roots, so no promise is freed while an operation still knows its address.

The isolation test kept up to sixteen threads busy beside the other tests
of its file. It is one test now, with a thread pool of two, and it fails if
one of its operations settles.

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 checked the sibling completion callbacks for the same post-collection dereference: digest/encrypt/sign/deriveBits/deriveKey and the new RSA generatePair post-back all settle through DeferredPromise::resolve/reject, which bail on shouldIgnoreRequestToFulfill() once the realm is gone, so only the unwrapKey decrypt callback reads promise->globalObject() directly. The pool-thread RSA generation mirrors dispatchAlgorithmOperation's contextIdentifier/loopKind/postTaskTo shape with no JS-heap access off the JS thread, and the Strong roots in PendingPromises never destruct after VM teardown since m_subtleCrypto is leakRef'd.

Extended reasoning...

Since the last review, the newest commit changed the retired-context path from clearing pending-promise entries to only unrooting them, which is what makes the unwrapKey null dereference reachable; the ruled-out items above scope which other callback sites share that pattern and which do not.

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

  • 🟣 src/jsc/bindings/webcrypto/SubtleCrypto.cpp — Pre-existing, narrow window: a bun test --isolate run can crash with a null dereference when a file leaves an AES-GCM or RSA-OAEP unwrapKey() in flight and its global is retired and collected before the decrypt task posts back. The callback at SubtleCrypto.cpp:1575-1576 fetches the promise with get() and immediately dereferences promise->globalObject(), which is a JSC::Weak that is already null once the realm is gone, so state.vm() reads through null. Fix: in this callback (and any other that reads globalObject() off a pending promise rather than settling it) bail out when promise->globalObject() is null, removing the entry, so the task is a no-op like the shouldIgnoreRequestToFulfill() paths.

    Why this was flagged

    A test file under bun test --isolate calls crypto.subtle.unwrapKey(..., kek, {name:"AES-GCM", iv}, ...) without awaiting it, and the file ends. unwrapKey is a decryption, so SubtleCrypto.cpp:1663 dispatches unwrapAlgorithm->decrypt to the pool and the entry stays in m_pendingPromises. Retirement calls ScriptExecutionContext::prepareForDestruction() (ScriptExecutionContext.cpp:343-345), which clears the new Strong root, so the next collection frees the realm; DOMGuardedObject::m_globalObject (JSDOMGuardedObject.h:61) is a JSC::Weak and becomes null. The decrypt callback then runs on the JS thread: weakThis->m_pendingPromises.get(index) at SubtleCrypto.cpp:1575 still returns the promise because entries are kept, and auto& state = *(promise->globalObject()); at :1576 followed by state.vm() dereferences null and the process segfaults. The base branch has the same deref and the same collectable realm, so this is pre-existing; this PR keeps the window open in isolation mode by design while closing it elsewhere with the Strong root.

    Verification: Pre-existing. Under bun test --isolate a file leaves an AES-GCM/RSA-OAEP unwrapKey() unsettled, the pool posts the result task while the retired global is still registered, and a full GC collects that global before the queued task drains. src/jsc/bindings/webcrypto/SubtleCrypto.cpp:1575-1577 dereferences promise->globalObject(), a JSC::Weak that is null once the global cell is collected, with no isEmpty() check.

unwrapKey() read the global of its promise when the thread pool was done.
Under `bun test --isolate` that global can be collected by then, so the
callback now stops when the promise is suspended.

A retired context stays unrooted: the close handler of a socket that a
test file leaves open runs after the context was retired, and an operation
it started kept the file's global alive.
