SCA: security update for electron (GHSA-gr2m-v5gq-v685)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 448493

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.
 Prior to 41.10.6, 42.9.2, 43.4.1, and 44.0.0-beta.5, windows opened from a sandboxed top-level document
 did not inherit that document's active HTML sandbox restrictions. Untrusted content in a sandboxed top-
 level document that was permitted to open popups could therefore create a window with the Electron
 application's full origin instead of the restricted origin intended by the sandbox. Applications that deny
 such popups with setWindowOpenHandler are not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 41.10.6, 42.9.2,
 43.4.1, and 44.0.0-beta.5. (CVE-2026-102674)

Solution

Update the electron library and its related packages to version 41.10.6 or later.
