| 2 | + | * Reply decoder security tests. |
| 3 | + | * |
| 4 | + | * Covers: |
| 5 | + | * - CVE-2025-55182-style path traversal: "$3:constructor:constructor" etc. |
| 6 | + | * - Prototype-pollution via __proto__ own-property in JSON payloads |
| 7 | + | * - `then`-function scrub (attacker thenables cannot be duck-typed) |
| 8 | + | * - Resource ceilings (maxRows, maxDepth, maxStringLength, maxBigIntDigits) |
| 9 | + | * - Row-reference path-walk barriers (prototype check, own-key check, |
| 10 | + | * forbidden-key filter) |
| 11 | + | * |
| 12 | + | * These tests target `decodeReply` and the underlying reply-decoder module, |
| 13 | + | * not the RSC client-stream decoder (which uses `createFromReadableStream`). |
