Fix Broken function_to_array_replacements Deobfuscation

[Revadike]

Sorry I was so vague.
You can try yourself: https://talon-website-prod.ecosec.on.epicgames.com/talon_sdk.js
There are a bunch of these errors while deobfuscating, and it ends up getting stuck in an endless loop (if you have no iteration cap).
I would appreciate if you guys could look into this.
It's a big file, and it will definitely improve your already excellent tool if you can fix these issues.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention :)
I've started looking at it, and I realized that even thought this obfuscation type is supposedly covered, this variation was missing.
I've already updated the obfuscation detector to replace the augmented array properly, so next step is to figure out what else is breaking.

I'll update with any progress

Thank you!

I have a problem with this module as well, although I am not sure it is related.
escodegen is not up to date with the newest ECMAScript nodes, so it fails on a PrivateIdentifier AST node.

Adding

class WithPriv{
 #privateId = 1;
}

to the array_function_replacements_local_proxies.js test case from obfuscation-detection gives an error

However, overriding the version of escodegen to use in package.json like so:

    "overrides":{
      "escodegen":"npm:@javascript-obfuscator/escodegen"
  },

fixes the problem. I am trying to see if this fixes the talon_sdk.js file as well, but the file is so big that it has been running for a long time already.

I could not reproduce the TypeError shown in the original issue, I did however run into a loop in the end:

replaceSequencesWithExpressions keeps finding 16 updates. I ran this both on the current master branch, and on a patched version as described in my previous post.
I am afraid I am not versed well enough in this project to fix the issue.

I owe @Revadike an apology, as I didn't make much progress on this issue :(

@jorants, I've moved your comment to a new issue, as I feel it requires its own attention and discussion. Thanks for bringing it to my attention 🙏
