Handlebars.compile() and Handlebars.precompile() accept a pre-parsed AST as well as a template string. Handlebars 4.7.9 added validation for such ASTs. It only checks values on PathExpression, NumberLiteral and BooleanLiteral nodes, and the compiler still writes several other AST values into the generated JavaScript unchecked.
If an application passes an untrusted object to compile() or precompile(), such as a parsed JSON request body, that object can carry arbitrary JavaScript. With compile(), the code runs on the server when the template renders. With precompile(), it ends up in the precompiled output and runs wherever that output is loaded.
Applications that only ever pass template strings are not affected.
This bypasses the AST validation added in 4.7.9 for GHSA-2w6w-674q-4c4q, GHSA-xhpv-hc6g-r9c6 and GHSA-3mfm-83xf-c92r.
The 4.7.9 validator runs in parseWithoutProcessing() and walks the whole AST. It only checks values on nodes whose type is PathExpression, NumberLiteral or BooleanLiteral. It passes over plain objects without a type, and over strings and other non-object values. The compiler reads these values from other places and writes them into the generated code as-is:
| AST value | Written into generated code as | Compile options needed |
|---|---|---|
Program.blockParams.length | container.program(<index>, data, <length>) | none (default options) |
depth on a param that is not a PathExpression, e.g. a StringLiteral | depths[<depth>] | stringParams: true |
A StringLiteral.value that is not a string | raw JavaScript literal | stringParams: true |
A PathExpression.original that is not a string | raw JavaScript literal | stringParams: true |
The first row works with default options. A Program with blockParams: { "length": "<JS expression>" } passes validation because:

The container.program(...) call is part of the helper options object, which is built before the helper is looked up. The code therefore runs on render even if the block's helper does not exist.

Error: Injected code ran as uid 1000
An application is affected if untrusted input can reach Handlebars.compile() or Handlebars.precompile() as an object instead of a string. A common way this happens is passing a field from a JSON request body straight to compile().
compile(): arbitrary JavaScript runs in the Node.js process with the application's privileges (remote code execution).precompile(): the injected code is written into the precompiled template and runs wherever that template is loaded, for example in users' browsers.Handlebars.compile(): ensure the argument is always a string, never a plain object or JSON-deserialized value.
