SCA: security update for electron (GHSA-v3j7-r9gq-3gjw)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445695

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 39.8.10, 40.9.3, 41.4.0, and 42.0.0, a custom scheme registered with supportFetchAPI: true but
 without corsEnabled: true was not subject to CORS enforcement. A page loaded from a remote origin could
 therefore fetch() or XMLHttpRequest that scheme cross-origin and read the full response body, rather than
 the read being blocked. Apps that serve sensitive data from such a scheme and load remote or untrusted
 content in a renderer are affected. This issue is fixed in versions 39.8.10, 40.9.3, 41.4.0, and 42.0.0.
 (CVE-2026-70604)

Solution

Update the electron library and its related packages to version 39.8.10 or later.
