How to fix?

A fix was pushed into the master branch but not yet published.

Overview

org.webjars.npm: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 Use After Free in the download save dialog callback process. An attacker can cause a crash or memory corruption by triggering session destruction while a native save-file dialog is open and then dismissing the dialog.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the application allows downloads and programmatically destroys sessions at runtime.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by avoiding session destruction while a download save dialog may be open and by canceling pending downloads before tearing down sessions.
