Note

This issue is exploitable under either of two conditions:

  1. If an API exposed to the main world via contextBridge can return an object or array that contains a JS object that cannot be serialized, such as a canvas rendering context. This would normally result in an Error: object could not be cloned exception being thrown.

  2. If an API exposed to the main world via contextBridge has a return value that throws a user-generated exception while being sent over the bridge, such as a dynamic getter property on an object that throws an error when being computed.
