@asymmetric-effort/specifyjs: Production console warnings may leak internal framework state

  • Disclosed: 02.07.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Finding

Location: core/src/core/scheduler.ts:23, core/src/hooks/dispatcher.ts:100, core/src/client/graphql.ts:71

Several console.warn calls are not gated behind __DEV__ and will fire in production builds, potentially exposing internal framework state such as queue sizes, component names, and query fragments to users viewing the browser console.

Status

Open — These warnings serve as development-time diagnostics. They do not expose credentials or PII, but may reveal internal architecture details.

Recommendation

Gate all development-time console.warn and console.error calls behind process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' or a __DEV__ constant that build tools can tree-shake.
