CVE-2021-39184

Impact

This vulnerability allows a sandboxed renderer to request a "thumbnail" image of an arbitrary file on the user's system. The thumbnail can potentially include significant parts of the original file, including textual data in many cases.

All current stable versions of Electron are affected.

Patches

This was fixed with #30728, and the following Electron versions contain the fix:

15.0.0-alpha.10
14.0.0
13.3.0
12.1.0
11.5.0

Workarounds

If your app enables contextIsolation, this vulnerability is significantly more difficult for an attacker to exploit.

Further, if your app does not depend on the createThumbnailFromPath API, then you can simply disable the functionality. In the main process, before the 'ready' event:

delete require('electron').nativeImage.createThumbnailFromPath

CVE-2022-21718

Impact

This vulnerability allows renderers to obtain access to a random bluetooth device via the web bluetooth API if the app has not configured a custom select-bluetooth-device event handler. The device that is accessed is random and the attacker would have no way of selecting a specific device.

All current stable versions of Electron are affected.

Patches

This has been patched and the following Electron versions contain the fix:

17.0.0-alpha.6
16.0.6
15.3.5
14.2.4
13.6.6

Workarounds

Adding this code to your app can workaround the issue.

app.on('web-contents-created', (event, webContents) => {
  webContents.on('select-bluetooth-device', (event, devices, callback) => {
    // Prevent default behavior
    event.preventDefault();
    // Cancel the request
    callback('');
  });
});

CVE-2022-29257

Impact

This vulnerability allows attackers who have control over a given apps update server / update storage to serve maliciously crafted update packages that pass the code signing validation check but contain malicious code in some components.

Please note that this kind of attack would require significant privileges in your own auto updating infrastructure and the ease of that attack entirely depends on your infrastructure security.

Patches

This has been patched and the following Electron versions contain the fix:

18.0.0-beta.6
17.2.0
16.2.0
15.5.0

Workarounds

There are no workarounds for this issue, please update to a patched version of Electron.

CVE-2022-36077

Impact

When following a redirect, Electron delays a check for redirecting to file:// URLs from other schemes. The contents of the file is not available to the renderer following the redirect, but if the redirect target is a SMB URL such as file://some.website.com/, then in some cases, Windows will connect to that server and attempt NTLM authentication, which can include sending hashed credentials.

Patches

This issue has been fixed in all current stable versions of Electron. Specifically, these versions contain the fixes:

21.0.0-beta.1
20.0.1
19.0.11
18.3.7

We recommend all apps upgrade to the latest stable version of Electron.

Workarounds

If upgrading isn't possible, this issue can be addressed without upgrading by preventing redirects to file:// URLs in the WebContents.on('will-redirect') event, for all WebContents:

app.on('web-contents-created', (e, webContents) => {
  webContents.on('will-redirect', (e, url) => {
    if (/^file:/.test(url)) e.preventDefault()
  })
})

CVE-2023-39956

Impact

Apps that are launched as command line executables are impacted. E.g. if your app exposes itself in the path as myapp --help

Specifically this issue can only be exploited if the following conditions are met:

Your app is launched with an attacker-controlled working directory
The attacker has the ability to write files to that working directory

This makes the risk quite low, in fact normally issues of this kind are considered outside of our threat model as similar to Chromium we exclude Physically Local Attacks but given the ability for this issue to bypass certain protections like ASAR Integrity it is being treated with higher importance. Please bear this in mind when reporting similar issues in the future.

Workarounds

There are no app side workarounds, you must update to a patched version of Electron.

Fixed Versions

26.0.0-beta.13
25.5.0
24.7.1
23.3.13
22.3.19

CVE-2023-5217

Heap buffer overflow in vp8 encoding in libvpx in Google Chrome prior to 117.0.5938.132 and libvpx 1.13.1 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page.

CVE-2023-44402

Impact

This only impacts apps that have the embeddedAsarIntegrityValidation and onlyLoadAppFromAsar [fuses] (https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/fuses) enabled. Apps without these fuses enabled are not impacted. This issue is specific to macOS as these fuses are only currently supported on macOS.

Specifically this issue can only be exploited if your app is launched from a filesystem the attacker has write access too. i.e. the ability to edit files inside the .app bundle on macOS which these fuses are supposed to protect against.

Workarounds

There are no app side workarounds, you must update to a patched version of Electron.

Fixed Versions

27.0.0-alpha.7
26.2.1
25.8.1
24.8.3
23.3.14
22.3.24
