It just occurred to me that the security issues you describe re. fixed
properties & membranes may not be as bad as we first thought they were.
Because of the recursive wrapping of the membrane code, all of the
get/set/value attributes of fixed properties will contain wrappers
themselves. So, after revoking a membrane, untrusted code will still
have access to the structural information of these properties, but
won't be able to do anything useful with its values (they are revoked
wrappers themselves). The structural information itself does not
convey any useful authority to the untrusted code.
It does leak that the property exists (because a value is returned
instead of throwing inconditionally). It doesn't sound very dangerous
and exploitable, but it's a leak.
The wrapper may still "leak" previously exposed information (e.g.
primitives are not wrapped), but the untrusted code could retain
access to this information regardless (even if we switched to
validating proxies).
The wrapper can also leak previously unexposed information (not for one
piece of untrusted code, but at least two). That was the point of the
adjustement of my example:
( 0) Untrusted code 1 and 2 have a reference to the wrapper w )
1) Untrusted code 1 does: Object.defineProperty(w, 'p',
{configurable:false, value:1})
2) Trusted code closes the gate
3) In Untrusted code 2: 'p' in w === true
Before 1), this 'p' property wasn't exposed to Untrusted code 2. Closing
the gate on 2) should prevent everyone (like Untrusted code 2) who
hadn't seen 'p' before gate-closing to see it afterward. It is not big,
but it allows two pieces of untrusted code to communicate (more than
they would if the trap was called and threw right away).
The easy workaround is to hand a different wrappers to different
untrusted codes, but duplicating the number of necessary objects to
guarantee security is an unfortunate workaround.

So, long story short: I don't think proxies with fixed properties
weaken the actual security afforded by membranes, but I fully agree
that the fact that information is lingering in revoked proxies is
surprising.
Cheers,
Tom
