SCA: security update for electron (GHSA-7m48-wc93-9g85)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412126
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Electron is an open source framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript,
HTML and CSS. This only impacts apps that have the `embeddedAsarIntegrityValidation` and
`onlyLoadAppFromAsar` 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. There
are no app side workarounds, you must update to a patched version of Electron. (CVE-2023-44402)
