    Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

    electron-updater is a module allowing applications to implement auto-update functionality.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature through the windowsExecutableCodeSignatureVerifier process. An attacker in control of an update manifest - via server compromise or other exploitation - can bypass signature verification of a downloaded file by tricking the application into verifying the signature on a different file instead.

    Note: This is only exploitable on Windows.

    How to fix Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature?

    Upgrade electron-updater to version 6.3.0-alpha.6 or higher.

    <6.3.0-alpha.6
