Hi @killmasta93 Does it produce any output upon the crash? With the memory limit I mean the PHP setting in your php.ini. You might want to change it to something like this:

memory_limit = 2G

Hi @killmasta93 !
Thanks for providing these details. If you're running the scanner in docker then it could be that memory limit is hit on default PHP settings. Maybe it could be a good idea to make a PR to increase the memory limit.

Hi all,

I'm re-pasting my message here again. :)
(from: #72)

The problem is in the file: vendor/marcocesarato/amwscan/src/Deobfuscator.php
The following "calc" function is defined in mentioned file:

private function calc($expr)
    {
        if (is_array($expr)) {
            $expr = $expr[0];
        }
        preg_match('~(min|max)?\(([^\)]+)\)~mi', $expr, $exprArr);
        if (!empty($exprArr[1]) && ($exprArr[1] === 'min' || $exprArr[1] === 'max')) {
            return $exprArr[1](explode(',', $exprArr[2]));
        }

        preg_match_all('~([\d\.]+)([\*\/\-\+])?~', $expr, $exprArr);
        if (!empty($exprArr[1]) && !empty($exprArr[2])) {
            if (in_array('*', $exprArr[2], true)) {
                $pos = array_search('*', $exprArr[2], true);
                $res = @$exprArr[1][$pos] * @$exprArr[1][$pos + 1];
                $expr = str_replace(@$exprArr[1][$pos] . '*' . @$exprArr[1][$pos + 1], $res, $expr);
                $expr = $this->calc($expr);
            } elseif (in_array('/', $exprArr[2], true)) {
                $pos = array_search('/', $exprArr[2], true);
                $res = $exprArr[1][$pos] / $exprArr[1][$pos + 1];
                $expr = str_replace($exprArr[1][$pos] . '/' . $exprArr[1][$pos + 1], $res, $expr);
                $expr = $this->calc($expr);
            } elseif (in_array('-', $exprArr[2], true)) {
                $pos = array_search('-', $exprArr[2], true);
                $res = $exprArr[1][$pos] - $exprArr[1][$pos + 1];
                $expr = str_replace($exprArr[1][$pos] . '-' . $exprArr[1][$pos + 1], $res, $expr);
                $expr = $this->calc($expr);
            } elseif (in_array('+', $exprArr[2], true)) {
                $pos = array_search('+', $exprArr[2], true);
                $res = $exprArr[1][$pos] + $exprArr[1][$pos + 1];
                $expr = str_replace($exprArr[1][$pos] . '+' . $exprArr[1][$pos + 1], $res, $expr);
                $expr = $this->calc($expr);
            } else {
                return $expr;
            }
        }

        return $expr;

As you can see, this is a recursive function that - for some reason - has an erroneous stop condition for the file you indicated and goes into very, very deep levels of recursion (in my case, about ~281000 - until the memory on the stack is exhausted).

I haven't had time to disarm this function and analyze the stop condition, but it seems that a simple and sufficient workaround is to add an additional guard in the form:

if($level>100000) return "";

This will interrupt further nesting if it goes too far :)

So, all the correct function code will therefore look as follows:

    private function calc($expr, $level = 0)
    {
		if($level>100000) return "";
		
        if (is_array($expr)) {
            $expr = $expr[0];
        }
        preg_match('~(min|max)?\(([^\)]+)\)~mi', $expr, $exprArr);
        if (!empty($exprArr[1]) && ($exprArr[1] === 'min' || $exprArr[1] === 'max')) {
            return $exprArr[1](explode(',', $exprArr[2]));
        }

        preg_match_all('~([\d\.]+)([\*\/\-\+])?~', $expr, $exprArr);
        if (!empty($exprArr[1]) && !empty($exprArr[2])) {
            if (in_array('*', $exprArr[2], true)) {
                $pos = array_search('*', $exprArr[2], true);
                $res = @$exprArr[1][$pos] * @$exprArr[1][$pos + 1];
                $expr = str_replace(@$exprArr[1][$pos] . '*' . @$exprArr[1][$pos + 1], $res, $expr);
                $expr = $this->calc($expr, $level+1);
            } elseif (in_array('/', $exprArr[2], true)) {
                $pos = array_search('/', $exprArr[2], true);
                $res = $exprArr[1][$pos] / $exprArr[1][$pos + 1];
                $expr = str_replace($exprArr[1][$pos] . '/' . $exprArr[1][$pos + 1], $res, $expr);
                $expr = $this->calc($expr, $level+1);
            } elseif (in_array('-', $exprArr[2], true)) {
                $pos = array_search('-', $exprArr[2], true);
                $res = $exprArr[1][$pos] - $exprArr[1][$pos + 1];
                $expr = str_replace($exprArr[1][$pos] . '-' . $exprArr[1][$pos + 1], $res, $expr);
                $expr = $this->calc($expr,$level+1);
            } elseif (in_array('+', $exprArr[2], true)) {
                $pos = array_search('+', $exprArr[2], true);
                $res = $exprArr[1][$pos] + $exprArr[1][$pos + 1];
                $expr = str_replace($exprArr[1][$pos] . '+' . $exprArr[1][$pos + 1], $res, $expr);
                $expr = $this->calc($expr,$level+1);
            } else {
                return $expr;
            }
        }

        return $expr;
    }

This is completely sufficient (at least for my needs).

I sincerely greet you and warm hugs for the file that helped me to solve this problem,
~WB
