Thanks for reporting this, @rahul-singh-bv.

Security and dependency issues are important. The GrapesJS team actively works on keeping dependencies up-to-date.

For you right now:

  1. Run npm audit fix to see available patches
  2. Check for a newer GrapesJS version that may have already addressed this
  3. If available, test the latest stable release before upgrading
  4. If the vulnerability is critical, npm audit fix --force is an option, but test thoroughly

Understanding the risk:

  • Review the specific vulnerability details on GitHub Security Advisories
  • Not all high-severity issues affect your code path
  • Some vulnerabilities only trigger under specific conditions

Staying current:

  • Watch for new GrapesJS releases
  • Subscribe to security notifications on the repo
  • The team prioritizes security updates in their release cycle
