In this challenge, we need to exploit a runner.cc that takes binary input and passes it to v8::ScriptCompiler::CachedData, which is to be executed. After some investigation, we found that we can use such primitive to execute arbitrary V8 bytecode. It turns out that V8 bytecode execution has many out-of-bound primitives that can be exploited because they are deemed as trusted input by V8. The final solution utilizes an out-of-bound read in CreateArrayLiteral to fetch a faked ArrayBoilerplateDescription, leading to an object faking primitive and thus code execution with regular exploitation technique.
