12
+ Three resource and validation defects in the shift and binary-conversion opcodes, found by a
13
+ differential fuzzer run against this package and by independent review of the first fix. The
14
+ conformance corpus passes 1483/1483 before and after: every one of these was invisible to it.
15
+
16
+ ### Security — `OP_LSHIFT` and `OP_RSHIFT` did work proportional to the shift COUNT
17
+
18
+ Both built the shifted value as a bignum and then truncated it, so `ushln(n)` allocated a value of
19
+ the shifted width — the count's magnitude, not the operand's. A short script could therefore buy
20
+ an unbounded amount of work from a verifier, in **every era**, since a count of 2^31-1 fits the
21
+ four bytes allowed before Genesis, and `IsOpcodeDisabled` in the node disables only `OP_2MUL`
22
+ and `OP_2DIV` — never the shifts. Confirmed by execution: a pre-Genesis `OP_LSHIFT` with a count
23
+ of 2^31-1 is accepted and returns one zero byte. Past a certain count the implied length is not a valid array
24
+ length and bn.js raised a `RangeError`, which the evaluator reported as
25
+ `SCRIPT_ERR_UNKNOWN_ERROR`. **That is a false reject**, not merely a slow one: the node returns
26
+ zero bytes for the same script, so this library refused spends the node accepts. So the path had
27
+ two faults at once — unbounded work, and a wrong verdict in the direction of refusal. No false
28
+ accept was found on this path; the false accept in this release is the separate empty-operand bug
29
+ below.
30
+
31
+ Both opcodes now follow the node's shape, which bounds the work by the operand:
32
+
33
+ ```cpp
34
+ CScriptNum n{top, requireMinimal, params.MaxScriptNumLength(), utxo_after_genesis};
35
+ if(n < 0) return SCRIPT_ERR_INVALID_NUMBER_RANGE;
36
+ if(n >= values.size() * bits_per_byte) fill(begin(values), end(values), 0);
37
+ else { ... LShift(values, n.getint()) ... }
38
+ ```
39
+
40
+ The count is compared as a bignum before any narrowing, and a shift reaching the operand's full
41
+ width returns that many zero bytes directly. The node's `LShift` allocates
42
+ `valtype result(x.size(), 0x00)` and loops over `x.size()`; nothing it allocates follows the
43
+ count. Verified against the previous implementation on 719,360 operand-and-count pairs — every value at
44
+ operand lengths 1 to 4, sampled above 4096 per length, at every count from 0 to 8·len+4, both
45
+ directions — and against an independent bit-string model. That equivalence covers the **valid
46
+ counts for which the previous implementation completed**, and over those the output is
47
+ byte-identical. It deliberately does not cover the counts that previously threw, or the
48
+ empty-operand counts in the next section, where the verdict changes on purpose; both are covered
49
+ by their own tests.
50
+
51
+ ### Security — an invalid shift count was accepted whenever the operand was empty
52
+
53
+ Both opcodes short-circuited when the value being shifted was empty, popping the count without
54
+ decoding it, and therefore without any of its three checks. A negative count, a count too wide for
55
+ the era, and a non-minimally-encoded count were all accepted, where the node refuses each by name.
56
+ **A false accept.** The node's only guard before the decode is `stack.size() < 2`, and it checks
57
+ `n < 0` before it reads the operand at all.
58
+
59
+ This one was found by review of the first shift fix, which corrected the cost and left this in
60
+ place.
61
+
62
+ ### Fixed — `OP_NUM2BIN`'s size was not bounded by `INT32_MAX`
63
+
64
+ The node caps it in every era, **before** the element-size test:
65
+
66
+ ```cpp
67
+ if(n < 0 || n > std::numeric_limits<int32_t>::max()) return SCRIPT_ERR_PUSH_SIZE;
68
+ const auto size{n.to_size_t_limited()};
69
+ if(!utxo_after_genesis && (size > MAX_SCRIPT_ELEMENT_SIZE_BEFORE_GENESIS))
70
+ return SCRIPT_ERR_PUSH_SIZE;
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ The era only widens the second test; the first is fixed. Without it a size above `INT32_MAX`
74
+ passed the post-Genesis element check, which is effectively unbounded, and the allocation that
75
+ followed was proportional to the operand's **value** rather than its length. A size the node
76
+ refuses without allocating is now refused the same way, and the bound is checked on the bignum
77
+ before narrowing, because `toNumber()` rounds past 2^53 and returns `Infinity` at extreme widths
78
+ rather than failing.
79
+
80
+ **This cap matches the node; it does not make the opcode cheap.** A size just under `INT32_MAX` is
81
+ consensus-valid and still requests an allocation approaching 2 GB, from a script of a few bytes —
82
+ so a limit on script size does not address it. **This release adds no execution or allocation
83
+ budget, and this package enforces none.** Evaluating untrusted scripts therefore needs a bound on
84
+ execution resources, not just on input size: run it in a process whose memory and CPU time are
85
+ capped, or do not evaluate untrusted scripts in a process you need to keep alive.
86
+
87
+ ### Note on `OP_DIV` and `OP_MOD`
88
+
89
+ Both are quadratic in operand length. **This is not a consensus divergence, and it is not fixed in
90
+ this release.** The node shares the shape: `OP_DIV`/`OP_MOD` are bounded only by
91
+ `params.MaxScriptNumLength()` and its `bsv::bint` division is also schoolbook, so verdicts and
92
+ bounds match and changing ours would diverge from consensus.
93
+
94
+ Parity settles the verdict, not the cost. **Quadratic CPU exhaustion remains a risk when
95
+ evaluating attacker-controlled scripts**, and the node's practical protection is policy rather
96
+ than consensus — `DEFAULT_MAX_SCRIPT_SIZE_POLICY_AFTER_GENESIS` of 500 KB and
97
+ `DEFAULT_STACK_MEMORY_USAGE_POLICY_AFTER_GENESIS` of 100 MB. Neither is a CPU-time bound, and this
98
+ package enforces neither. Measured here: 320 KB of operand takes about 18 seconds, growing by
99
+ roughly 4× per doubling. Bound execution resources yourself, as above. An opt-in budget is under
100
+ consideration and will not change default behaviour.
101
+
102
+ ## [9.16.0] - 2026-10-01
103
+
104
+ ### Security — `OP_CHECKMULTISIG`'s counts were decoded with the era's length, not four bytes
105
+
106
+ Both counts used `maxScriptNumLength()`, which is 750,000 bytes after Genesis and 32,000,000 after
107
+ Chronicle. The node hardcodes four and says why:
108
+
109
+ ```cpp
110
+ // initialize to max size of CScriptNum::MAXIMUM_ELEMENT_SIZE (4 bytes)
111
+ // because only 4 byte integers are supported by OP_CHECKMULTISIG / OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY
112
+ nKeysCountSigned = CScriptNum(stack.stacktop(-i).GetElement(), requireMinimal,
113
+ CScriptNum::MAXIMUM_ELEMENT_SIZE).getint();
114
+ ```
115
+
116
+ These two are the **only** operand decodes in the interpreter that do not take the era's length.
117
+ Every other one does, which is precisely why passing it here looked correct. The consequence was a
118
+ **false accept**: a 5-byte key or signature count that the node refuses as `SCRIPTNUM_OVERFLOW` in
119
+ every era was accepted. Present in 9.15.0 and earlier.
120
+
121
+ ### Fixed — the Magnetic opcodes needed a flag the node does not have
122
+
123
+ `OP_MUL`, `OP_LSHIFT`, `OP_RSHIFT` and `OP_INVERT` were refused unless
124
+ `SCRIPT_ENABLE_MAGNETIC_OPCODES` was set. `IsOpcodeDisabled` disables `OP_2MUL` and `OP_2DIV` and
125
+ nothing else, so those four execute in every era the node can validate. Measured against the
126
+ node's own corpus with the library-only opcode bits withheld: **77 rows refused as
127
+ `DISABLED_OPCODE`**, every one a false reject. Fail-closed, so nothing was wrongly accepted, but
128
+ they are spends the network accepts.
129
+
130
+ This landed after the 9.15.0 tag, so 9.15.0 shipped without it — and `@smartledger/bsv-core@1.0.2`
131
+ was briefly more correct than the published library. That is the reason this release exists now
132
+ rather than later.
133
+
134
+ Both flag constants remain exported and accepted; setting either is redundant.
135
+
136
+ ### Fixed — a disabled opcode in an unexecuted branch
137
+
138
+ The era decides, not the branch. The node reads
139
+ `IsOpcodeDisabled(opcode, era) && (!utxo_after_genesis || fExec)`, so an unexecuted disabled opcode
140
+ is fatal before Genesis and harmless after it. The behaviour was already right in all four
141
+ combinations; a comment claimed it was fatal in every era, and no test pinned any of it. Both
142
+ fixed.
143
+
144
+ ### Added — portable cross-implementation vectors, now 25
145
+
146
+ `test/data/blind-spot-vectors.json` carries raw-byte vectors for five defect classes the node's
147
+ own corpus cannot reach, with the node's flag names, its error-name table vendored beside them,
148
+ and a generator so the file is a build product rather than hand-maintained.
149
+
150
+ They are not decorative: they found a false accept in the official
151
+ [`bsv-blockchain/go-sdk`](https://github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-sdk/issues/373) and five unguarded
152
+ malleability sites in an independent Rust implementation. `@bsv/sdk` 2.8.11 agrees with all of
153
+ them. Four rows covering the Magnetic opcodes were added by a second session after it observed
154
+ that the original set could not have caught the gate above.
155
+
156
+ ### Added — `npm run vectors:sv-coverage`, which reports what a corpus cannot test
157
+
158
+ A 1483/1483 score says we agree with the corpus; it says nothing about rules the corpus never
159
+ exercises, and the percentage cannot tell the two apart. The report names them on four axes:
160
+ verdicts no row asks for, masking flag pairs never set together, how often each flag appears at all
161
+ against whether mainnet requires it, and rules the row format cannot express. Run against the
162
+ node's vectors it names both defect classes released in 9.15.0 — so it would have pointed at them
163
+ before either was found.
