ProbeLabs23 findings · 123 requirementsThe fastest JSON parser for Go — formally verified with ReqProof (real library, master).
When Delete is called with a provided path but the input is malformed, truncated, or otherwise unusable for the requested deletion, the parser shall return the original byte payload unchanged and shall not panic.
Specification
The requirement exactly as authored — its complete prose text and, where present, the formal FRETish sentence it compiles to.
When Delete is called with a provided path but the input is malformed, truncated, or otherwise unusable for the requested deletion, the parser shall return the original byte payload unchanged and shall not panic.
the parser shall always satisfy !delete_path_is_provided | !delete_input_is_unusable_for_requested_path | (delete_returns_original_input_on_unusable_input & delete_completes_without_panic)
Rationale & tags
Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.
Rationale & tags
Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.
Delete robustness on unusable input is a security-relevant behavior class and should be specified independently from successful deletion and missing-target behavior.
Verification & provenance
How this requirement was checked: the review trail, edit history, and the machine-analysis status terms (each ⓘ explains what it means).

Browse the catalogueBehavior when inputs are syntactically or structurally invalid.
Delete on adversarial input like ,{"test":1{}} drives findTokenStart/tokenEnd to stale offsets; the unguarded data[prevTok] dereference (parser.go:907) panics with index-out-of-range — the OSS-Fuzz witness shape.

FRETish formula
the parser shall always satisfy !delete_path_is_provided | !delete_input_is_unusable_for_requested_path | (delete_returns_original_input_on_unusable_input & delete_completes_without_panic)
Variables
| Name | Type | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| delete_path_is_provided | — | True when Delete is called with at least one path segment. | |
| delete_input_is_unusable_for_requested_path | — | True when Delete cannot safely resolve the requested path because the input is malformed, truncated, or otherwise unusable for that deletion request. | |
| delete_returns_original_input_on_unusable_input | — | True when Delete returns the original byte payload unchanged because the input is unusable for the requested deletion. | |
| delete_completes_without_panic | — | True when Delete completes the requested call path without panicking. |

MC/DC truth table· 6 rows
Each row assigns the formula's conditions (T/F) and shows the Result— the formula's value for that input row, not a test pass/fail. A row proves a condition when flipping only that condition flips the outcome. The test that covers each row is linked.
