Comment 1 Jack 2020-03-26 21:23:08 PDT
In this case we try to insert ol at the position of li. Because li is originally in un-ordered list, we call unlistifyParagraph to move li into a BR element. Since BR needs to be inserted in body, but body is not editable, the insertion fails and leave BR parentless. The next call in moveParagraphs deref the parent of BR and crashed. 

</style>
<script>
    window.onload = () => {
        document.getSelection().setPosition(LI);
        document.execCommand("insertOrderedList", false);
    }
</script>
<body><ul><li id=LI contenteditable="true">

This is a conservative patch. We are checking parentless node after insertion. In debug build, a lot of assertions for editable content trigger before and during insertion.

I was wondering if checking parent of container node of the visible position for edibility is okay? Is it too aggressive and may find false positive? I roughly checked all the insertion calls and each of them eventually checks parent or ancestor for editability.

Something like this:

if (!start.deepEquivalent().containerNode()->hasEditableStyle() || !start.deepEquivalent().containerNode()->parentNode()->hasEditableStyle())
  return;

Hm... we probably need to fix that because we can't land a test which hits assertions in debug builds.

At where? That doesn't seem right if container node itself is editable. Why does the parent of the container node needs to be also editable?

I see.

In the beginning of the function.

It's because the function insertNodeAfter or insertNodeBefore eventually append or insert to the parent, for example:

void CompositeEditCommand::insertNodeAfter(Ref<Node>&& insertChild, Node& refChild)
{
    ContainerNode* parent = refChild.parentNode();
...
    if (parent->lastChild() == &refChild)
        appendNode(WTFMove(insertChild), *parent);
}
Comment 6 Jack 2020-03-26 22:17:21 PDT
And InsertNodeBefore also checks parent for editability.

void InsertNodeBeforeCommand::doApply()
{
    ContainerNode* parent = m_refChild->parentNode();
    if (!parent || (m_shouldAssumeContentIsAlwaysEditable == DoNotAssumeContentIsAlwaysEditable && !isEditableNode(*parent)))
        return;
    ASSERT(isEditableNode(*parent));

    parent->insertBefore(m_insertChild, m_refChild.ptr());
}

The beginning of which function? InsertListCommand::unlistifyParagraph?

In which function? It's unclear what code of which function you're talking about.

Oh sorry, the changes are in unlistifyParagraph and listifyParagraph.

Comment 10 Jack 2020-03-26 23:13:32 PDT
Thanks to Ryosuke for discussion. We use more aggressive editability check in unlistifyParagraph because the insertion position is always the listNode.

Try this patch on EWS tests.

Do we really need this?

There is no security implication here.

Thanks for the good catches! It's in the original test case, somehow my eyes automatically skip that...   :-)
