SCA: security update for electron (GHSA-j84w-jfhq-vhvj)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 448476

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, responses served through
protocol.registerFileProtocol or protocol.registerHttpProtocol for a custom scheme registered with
supportFetchAPI enabled but corsEnabled disabled could remain script-readable across origins. This
residual issue completes the remediation for CVE-2026-70604. Applications are affected only when they
expose such a scheme and load untrusted content in the same session. Schemes intentionally registered with
corsEnabled enabled remain cross-origin readable by design. This issue is fixed in versions 41.10.6,
42.9.2, 43.4.1, and 44.0.0-beta.5. (CVE-2026-102675)

Solution

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