importNode() moves the SVG element being imported into a live document temporarily (through a wrapper <svg> container) so styles inherit correctly, then moves it back and removes the container once import finishes. That cleanup only ran on the success path. If anything in between threw, most commonly JSON.parse() on a malformed data-paper-data attribute, the function exited early and the container stayed attached to document.body with the caller's original markup still inside it. That's a real problem when the SVG source isn't trusted. Once attached, it's no longer sitting in the inert document a DOMParser produces; it's live in the page, and anything like an <img onerror=...> that failed to load fires for real. An attacker who controls the SVG being imported (or just a broken data-paper-data value) can use this to run arbitrary script in the context of whatever page calls importSVG on their content. See issue paperjs#2100, first reported over a year ago with no fix yet. Wrapped the whole import step in a try/finally so the container always gets detached and the original node restored to its previous position, whether or not something threw along the way. Also folded the settings.applyMatrix/insertItems restoration into the same finally, since it had the identical bug for the same reason and might as well be fixed together. I couldn't run this repo's own test suite: gulp 3.x doesn't work on a current Node.js, and a fresh npm install fails outright building resemblejs's native canvas dependency in this environment. jshint on the changed file is clean. I wrote a small standalone reproduction with jsdom isolating just the attach/throw/detach shape this fix touches, confirming a node stays live in the document without the fix and gets cleanly detached with it. Happy to adapt this into whatever the project's actual test format is if that would help review. Fixes paperjs#2100.
