Abstract

The WeChat mini-game ecosystem faces rampant intellectual property theft to other platforms via secondary development, yet existing JavaScript obfuscation tools are ill-equipped for large-scale applications, suffering from prohibitive processing times, severe runtime performance degradation, and unsustainable code size inflation. This paper introduces JSProtect, a high-throughput parallelized obfuscation framework designed to overcome these fundamental limitations. At the core of our framework is the Parallel-Aware Scope Analysis (PASA) algorithm, which enables two key optimizations: independent code partitioning for multi-core processing and independent namespace management that aggressively reuses short identifiers to combat code bloat. Our evaluation demonstrates that JSProtectprocesses 20MB codebases in minutes, maintaining 100\% semantic equivalence while controlling code size inflation to as low as 20\% compared to over 1,000\% with baseline tools. Furthermore, it preserves near-native runtime performance and provides superior security effectiveness against both static analysis tools and large language models. This work presents a new paradigm for industrial-scale JavaScript protection that effectively balances robust security with high performance and scalability.
