CVE-2026-119332: Ladybird: FinalizationRegistry::cleanup() heap use-after-free via reentrant unregister()

Published Oct 30, 2026

Ladybird is a truly independent web browser. Prior to 209579c96473c75bd5eba9701fcadb841a045964, FinalizationRegistry::cleanup() in Libraries/LibJS/Runtime/FinalizationRegistry.cpp removed a dead record from mrecords, retained an iterator to the next FinalizationRecord, and then invoked attacker-controlled JavaScript through the cleanup callback. If that callback called unregister() for the next record, removebytoken() freed the node referenced by the retained iterator, and the next cleanup iteration read its target and heldvalue fields after free. This reliably crashes instrumented WebContent builds and creates a memory-corruption primitive in production builds. This vulnerability is fixed by commit 209579c96473c75bd5eba9701fcadb841a045964.
