    Arbitrary Code Injection

    electron is a framework which lets you write cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection via modification of the resources folder when the embeddedAsarIntegrityValidation and onlyLoadAppFromAsar fuses are enabled. An attacker can execute unauthorized code by altering files within the application directory, bypassing ASAR integrity checks.

    Note: This is only exploitable if the application is launched from a filesystem to which the attacker has write access.

    How to fix Arbitrary Code Injection?

    Upgrade electron to version 35.7.5, 36.8.1, 37.3.1, 38.0.0-beta.6 or higher.

    <35.7.5>=36.0.0-alpha.1 <36.8.1>=37.0.0-alpha.1 <37.3.1>=38.0.0-alpha.1 <38.0.0-beta.6
