[dependabot-preview[bot]]

Bumps electron from 6.0.0-beta.15 to 7.2.4. This update includes security fixes.

Vulnerabilities fixed

Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

Arbitrary file read via window-open IPC in Electron

Impact

The vulnerability allows arbitrary local file read by defining unsafe window options on a child window opened via window.open.

Workarounds

Ensure you are calling event.preventDefault() on all new-window events where the url or options is not something you expect.

Fixed Versions

• 9.0.0-beta.21
• 8.2.4
• 7.2.4

Context isolation bypass via contextBridge in Electron

Impact

Apps using both contextIsolation and contextBridge are affected.

This is a context isolation bypass, meaning that code running in the main world context in the renderer can reach into the isolated Electron context and perform privileged actions.

Workarounds

There are no app-side workarounds, you must update your Electron version to be protected.

Fixed Versions

• 9.0.0-beta.21
• 8.2.4
• 7.2.4
