After upgrading to Flutter 3.27.0, the usage of CachedNetworkImage causes error: SecurityError: Failed to execute 'texImage2D' on 'WebGL2RenderingContext': The image element contains cross-origin data, and may not be loaded.

🐛 Bug Report

I've upgraded my project's Flutter version to 3.27.0, and now, when I run the web version, I get a lot of errors like this:

canvaskit.js:21 Uncaught (in promise) SecurityError: Failed to execute 'texImage2D' on 'WebGL2RenderingContext': The image element contains cross-origin data, and may not be loaded.

UPD: Since in my project, CachedNetworkImage is heavily used, and there are quite a lot of images, too much Failed to execute 'texImage2D' on 'WebGL2RenderingContext causes Additional error: RuntimeError: memory access out of bounds and overall crash of the app.

Expected behavior

It should load an image normally, like it used to in the previous Flutter versions

Reproduction steps

1. Create a project with flutter version 3.27.0
2. Use CachedNetworkImage
3. Run project in web

Configuration

Version: 3.4.1

Platform:

• :web

Changing from:

CachedNetworkImage( imageUrl: slides[itemIndex].image.desktop.fromStringLang(lang), fit: BoxFit.cover, alignment: Alignment.center, ),

to

CachedNetworkImage( imageUrl: slides[itemIndex].image.desktop.fromStringLang(lang), imageRenderMethodForWeb: ImageRenderMethodForWeb.HttpGet, // <-- Add this line fit: BoxFit.cover, alignment: Alignment.center, ),

seems to solve the problem provisionally

I am not able to import "ImageRenderMethodForWeb". It says undefined name. Can you share the import path?

Right, forgot to mention, you need to use import 'package:cached_network_image_platform_interface/cached_network_image_platform_interface.dart'; for it to have access to ImageRenderMethodForWeb.

I've also forked the cached_network_image package, and set the ImageRenderMethodForWeb.HttpGet as default. If your project heavily relies on cached_network_image, I would recommend to temporarily use this fork until flutter_cached_network_image team roll out a fix.

I've also created a PR, if they accept it, the ImageRenderMethodForWeb.HttpGet will be set by default.

Hey; how did you add this fork to your pubspec.yaml exactly? @lordarcadius

While @rednikisfun's fix works, it ? seems to cause a new error under Safari (v18.2) (works fine with Chrome). When an image isn't found, the errorWidget does not seem to be used / in my case the placeholder widget (I'm using a CircularProgressIndicator()) instead persists. Prior to the 3.27.0 bug, this worked fine across all browsers.

[ziyadvf]

I think there is a hotfix on the way directly to stable for this issue.

[martin-bautista-nimble]

Do we have an ETA For that fix? @ZiyadF296

[ziyadvf]

@martin-bautista-nimble

It was mentioned here.

Flutter PR #160127 should solve it. You can track this PR until it reaches your branch, but it'll probably be pushed directly to stable.

so i created a new file called cross_origin.dart in it

import 'dart:typed_data';
import 'dart:ui' as ui;
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
import 'package:flutter/widgets.dart';
import 'package:web/web.dart' as web;

class CrossOriginNetworkImage extends ImageProvider<CrossOriginNetworkImage> {
  final String url;

  CrossOriginNetworkImage(this.url);

  @override
  Future<CrossOriginNetworkImage> obtainKey(ImageConfiguration configuration) {
    return SynchronousFuture(this);
  }

  @override
  ImageStreamCompleter loadImage(
      CrossOriginNetworkImage key, ImageDecoderCallback decode) {
    final completer = Completer<ImageInfo>();

    final imageElement = web.HTMLImageElement()
      ..src = url
      ..crossOrigin = 'anonymous';

    imageElement.onLoad.listen((_) async {
      final canvas = web.HTMLCanvasElement();
      canvas.width = imageElement.width;
      canvas.height = imageElement.height;

      final ctx = canvas.context2D;
      ctx.drawImage(imageElement, 0, 0);

      // Convert canvas to a data URL and extract bytes.
      final dataUrl = canvas.toDataUrl('image/png');

      final bytes = UriData.parse(dataUrl).contentAsBytes();

      // Decode image bytes into a Flutter ui.Image.
      final codec = await ui.instantiateImageCodec(Uint8List.fromList(bytes));
      final frame = await codec.getNextFrame();

      completer.complete(ImageInfo(image: frame.image, scale: 1.0));
    });

    imageElement.onError.listen((_) {
      completer.completeError(Exception("Failed to load image: $url"));
    });

    return OneFrameImageStreamCompleter(completer.future);
  }
}

and then I replaced all my images that were using CachedImageNetworks with

CachedNetworkImage(
                                        imageUrl: _images[index].imageUrl!,
                                        fit: BoxFit.cover,
                                        imageBuilder: (context, imageProvider) {
                                          return Image(
                                            image: CrossOriginNetworkImage(
                                                _images[index].imageUrl!),
                                            fit: BoxFit.cover,
                                          );
                                        },
                                        placeholder: (context, url) => Center(
                                          child: SpinKitPulse(
                                            color: Colors.amber[100],
                                            size: 50.0,
                                          ),
                                        ),
                                        errorWidget: (context, url, error) =>
                                            const Icon(Icons.error),
                                      )

the only change i made is the imageBuilder attribute

it should fix it but I honestly don't know how it fixed it.
I'm waiting for a fix from CachedNetworkImage but until that is implemented i just use this to work on my other features.

[AndreiMisiukevich]

@tfozo, the fix is in Flutter, and it should be included in the next stable release. I saw a cherry-pick.

[tfozo]

@AndreiMisiukevich now what do I do?

Edit: Ahh, I'll keep an eye out for the update. Thanks again!
