How to fix?

Upgrade electron to version 13.6.8, 14.2.5, 15.3.6 or higher.

Overview

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 Incorrect Authorization due to insufficient policy enforcement in CORS in Chromium, which allows a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page.
