SCA: security update for electron (GHSA-f37v-82c4-4x64)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439963

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 39.8.5, 40.8.5, 41.1.0, and 42.0.0-alpha.5, apps that call clipboard.readImage() may be
 vulnerable to a denial of service. If the system clipboard contains image data that fails to decode, the
 resulting null bitmap is passed unchecked to image construction, triggering a controlled abort and
 crashing the process. Apps are only affected if they call clipboard.readImage(). Apps that do not read
 images from the clipboard are not affected. This issue does not allow memory corruption or code execution.
 This vulnerability is fixed in 39.8.5, 40.8.5, 41.1.0, and 42.0.0-alpha.5. (CVE-2026-34781)

Solution

Update the electron library and its related packages to version 39.8.5 or later.
