Summary

Harden input handling in bunfig.toml (flagged by semgrep).

Vulnerability

Field	Value
ID	package_managers.bun.bun-missing-minimum-release-age.bun-missing-minimum-release-age
Severity	HIGH
Scanner	semgrep
Rule	package_managers.bun.bun-missing-minimum-release-age.bun-missing-minimum-release-age
File	bunfig.toml:1
Assessment	Defensive hardening

Description: This bunfig.toml does not set a minimum release age or sets it too low. Newly published packages can be malicious or unstable. Add minimumReleaseAge = 604800 under the [install] section to wait 7 days before resolving newly published package versions. Added in: v1.3 Reference: https://bun.sh/docs/runtime/bunfig

Threat Model Context

This is a private Node.js application (not published to npm). Vulnerabilities affect this application's own runtime only.

Changes

• bunfig.toml

Behavior Preservation

The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.

Security Invariant

Property: The security boundary is maintained under adversarial input

This test guards against regressions — it's useful independent of the code change above.

---

This patch removes an exploit primitive — a code pattern that, while not independently exploitable today, could be chained with other weaknesses by automated exploit-development tooling. Proactive removal of such primitives raises the bar against increasingly capable automated attack tools.
