How to fix?

Upgrade org.webjars.npm:electron to version 32.0.1 or higher.

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 Arbitrary Code Execution due to Node being enabled in a webview because the default values of nodeIntegration and webviewTag were set to true when they where undefined by a user. The fix allows users to prevent Node and webview being enabled, when undefined, by setting the default values of nodeIntegration and webviewTag to false.
