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 Origin Validation Error via ElectronHidDelegate and ElectronUsbDelegate, which performed HID and USB permission checks with a null frame and the top-level document's origin instead of the requesting subframe's origin. When a cross-origin iframe requests a HID or USB device, session.setPermissionCheckHandler receives the top-level origin, no requestingUrl, isMainFrame: false, and a null webContents, causing origin-based permission logic to evaluate the wrong principal. An attacker controlling a cross-origin subframe embedded in a page that grants HID or USB access can bypass the intended per-frame permission check and gain device access that should be denied.
Note: This is only exploitable if setPermissionCheckHandler is used with origin-based logic for hid or usb and cross-origin iframes are embedded with allow="hid" or allow="usb".
