SCA: security update for electron (GHSA-p7v2-p9m8-qqg7)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417381
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Electron is a framework which lets you write cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML
and CSS. Electron apps using `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. This issue is only exploitable if an API exposed
to the main world via `contextBridge` can return an object or array that contains a javascript object
which cannot be serialized, for instance, a canvas rendering context. This would normally result in an
exception being thrown `Error: object could not be cloned`. The app side workaround is to ensure that such
a case is not possible. Ensure all values returned from a function exposed over the context bridge are
supported. This issue has been fixed in versions `25.0.0-alpha.2`, `24.0.1`, `23.2.3`, and `22.3.6`.
