SCA: security update for electron (GHSA-fw47-9c62-h3vw)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476568

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 versions 42.11.3, 43.7.0, 44.3.0, and 45.0.0-alpha.5, hid and usb permission checks made from an
 iframe caused setPermissionCheckHandler to receive the top-level frame's origin and details instead of the
 requesting frame's. An application that delegated hid or usb to a cross-origin untrusted iframe and
 allowed device access with origin-based logic could therefore grant that embedded frame access intended
 for the top-level page. This issue is fixed in versions 42.11.3, 43.7.0, 44.3.0, and 45.0.0-alpha.5.
 (CVE-2026-113800)

Solution

Update the electron library and its related packages to version 42.11.3 or later.
