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 Improper Input Validation which allows attackers who have control over a given app's update server or update storage to serve maliciously crafted update packages that pass the code signing validation check but contain malicious code in some components.
