SCA: security update for electron (GHSA-hvf8-h2qh-37m9)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415954

Description

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

 - The Electron framework lets users write cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and
 CSS. In versions of Electron IPC prior to 9.4.0, 10.2.0, 11.1.0, and 12.0.0-beta.9, messages sent from the
 main process to a subframe in the renderer process, through webContents.sendToFrame, event.reply or when
 using the remote module, can in some cases be delivered to the wrong frame. If your app uses remote, calls
 webContents.sendToFrame, or calls event.reply in an IPC message handler then it is impacted by this issue.
 This has been fixed in versions 9.4.0, 10.2.0, 11.1.0, and 12.0.0-beta.9. There are no known workarounds
 for this issue. (CVE-2020-26272)
