React, Flux, GraphQL, Hack, HHVM...? All of this and more!
Here is an example of an exploit of the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities with JavaScript. The source is the Spectre whitepaper on exploiting Speculative Execution in modern CPUs.
var TABLE1_STRIDE = 1; var TABLE1_BYTES = 3; var probeTable = ['alpha', 'beta', 'corky']; var simpleByteArray = [0x00, 0x01, 0x02]; var localJunk; var index = 0; if (index < simpleByteArray.length) { index = simpleByteArray[index | 0]; index = (((index * TABLE1_STRIDE) | 0) & (TABLE1_BYTES - 1)) | 0; localJunk &= probeTable[index | 0] | 0; } console.log(localJunk);
