SCA: security update for electron (GHSA-2q4g-w47c-4674)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 409027

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In Electron before versions 11.0.0-beta.1, 10.0.1, 9.3.0 or 8.5.1 the `will-navigate` event that apps use
 to prevent navigations to unexpected destinations as per our security recommendations can be bypassed when
 a sub-frame performs a top-frame navigation across sites. The issue is patched in versions 11.0.0-beta.1,
 10.0.1, 9.3.0 or 8.5.1 As a workaround sandbox all your iframes using the sandbox attribute. This will
 prevent them creating top-frame navigations and is good practice anyway. (CVE-2020-15174)
