Root Cause Analysis
The commit 4b22d70 shows both functions were modified to move context-checking logic INSIDE try blocks. Originally, these checks were outside try-catch, allowing exceptions to bypass sandbox isolation. The vulnerability exploit demonstrates that uncaught host exceptions (like stack overflows) could expose host references via error objects. These functions were the entry points for value marshaling between contexts, making them critical for sandbox integrity.
