low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476849

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 42.11.6, 43.7.3, 44.4.3, and 45.0.0-alpha.9, frame data received from the GPU process
for macOS offscreen rendering was not fully validated by the main process. An attacker who had separately
gained code execution in the GPU process could provide inconsistent frame geometry and cause the main
process to read out-of-bounds memory while producing paint event images, disclosing memory or crashing the
application. This issue is fixed in versions 42.11.6, 43.7.3, 44.4.3, and 45.0.0-alpha.9.
(CVE-2026-114124)
