    Origin Validation Error

    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 Origin Validation Error via the OpenURLFromTab navigation path, when a sandboxed iframe with allow-popups but without allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox opens a new window. The initiating frame's sandbox restrictions are not resolved on this code path because params.frame_tree_node_id is unset for non-CURRENT_TAB dispositions, causing the sandbox check to never run. As a result, the newly created window receives full origin authority instead of inheriting the opener frame's sandbox flags, allowing a sandboxed frame to escape its confinement.

    Note: This is only exploitable if the app embeds untrusted content in iframes sandboxed with allow-scripts allow-popups.

    How to fix Origin Validation Error?

    Upgrade electron to version 43.0.0, 42.5.2, 41.10.4, 45.0.0-alpha.10 or higher.
