SCA: security update for electron (GHSA-qmv3-fv6v-rmhq)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 448491

Description

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

 - Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
 From 42.3.3 until 42.10.0, 43.5.0, and 44.0.0-beta.6, Electron's sandboxed preload code cache did not
 verify that a cached entry matched the preload it was served for. A compromised renderer could write
 attacker-controlled cache data and cause Electron to reuse it for a later load, executing the renderer's
 code in the more privileged preload context. The issue affects applications that load untrusted content.
 This issue is fixed in versions 42.10.0, 43.5.0, and 44.0.0-beta.6. (CVE-2026-102677)

Solution

Update the electron library and its related packages to version 42.10.0 or later.
