Too much recursion

Quick answerby artf

Hey @jlafosse thanks for the report. I'd not expect that issue with the latest version: <img width="123" alt="Screenshot 2024-10-21 at 19 00 04" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ff074a31-cd19-4547-bb27-596c92e16d64"> Can you try to check again, please?

Question

GrapesJS version

  • I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS

What browser are you using?

Firefox 131.0.2

Reproducible demo link

https://grapesjs.com/demo-newsletter-editor.html

Describe the bug

How to reproduce the bug?

  1. Go to the grapesjs demo, then import the following html:
<div class="foobar">
    <img data-gjs-locked="true" width="500" src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2021/12/16/15/26/forest-6874717_1280.jpg">
</div>
  1. Open your browser console.
  2. Rapidly click on the image multiple times.

What is the expected behavior? Should work without errors.

What is the current behavior? This causes a recursion error in FireFox. Chrome does not seem to be affected by this issue. I am testing this on OSX 13.6.9 and I have included a short screen recording.

Uncaught InternalError: too much recursion
    getList Component.ts:1931
    ensureInList Component.ts:1866
    ensureInList Component.ts:1880
    Ke Underscore
    Backbone Backbone
    ensureInList Component.ts:1880
    ensureInList Component.ts:1880
    Ke Underscore
    Backbone Backbone
    ensureInList Component.ts:1880
    ensureInList Component.ts:1880

My suspicion is that the issue is coming from the following function: https://github.com/GrapesJS/grapesjs/blob/dev/packages/core/src/dom_components/model/Components.ts#L373

Thanks.

Thanks for reporting this, @jlafosse.

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
