Start with RuntimeCode.rejectTaintedEval and the EVAL_STRING opcode's eval-block handler, then compare how the interpreter backend propagates the error. Reproduce the failure with Text-Template 1.61's t/taint.t under -T on the JVM backend. Done means the tainted eval security error escapes the attempted eval and the eight JVM failures pass.

Descrição

area:backend bug

Summary

The JVM backend lets a string eval catch the taint-mode security error raised for tainted eval source. Under system Perl, the error propagates out of that inner eval; the interpreter backend also propagates it. In the JVM backend, the eval failure is instead captured as $@, allowing the caller to treat the tainted template fragment as an ordinary template error and continue.

This discrepancy causes eight failures in Text-Template 1.61's t/taint.t on the JVM backend, while the same test passes on the interpreter backend and all 21 tests pass under system Perl 5.42.2. The regression is included in archived CPAN run 20261104-151051-20617.

Root cause

RuntimeCode.rejectTaintedEval raises PerlCompilerException for tainted eval source while taint mode is active. In the JVM execution path, the EVAL_STRING opcode's surrounding eval-block handler catches that exception and calls WarnDie.catchEval, converting the forbidden inner-eval compilation into an ordinary $@ result. Perl's taint rule requires this particular security error to escape the eval whose source is tainted so an enclosing eval (or caller) sees the failure. The interpreter path already has the expected propagation behavior.

Expected behavior

An eval of tainted source under -T must not suppress its own taint violation. A caller may catch the propagated error outside the attempted eval, but the attempted eval itself must not turn it into a normal recoverable $@ result.
