CVE-2023-44402 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade electron to version 22.3.24, 24.8.3, 25.8.1, 26.2.1 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 Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity when the embeddedAsarIntegrityValidation and onlyLoadAppFromAsar fuses are enabled.
An attacker can edit files inside the .app bundle on macOS, which these fuses are supposed to protect against, by gaining write access to the filesystem from which the app is launched.
Note
This is only exploitable if your app is launched from a filesystem the attacker has write access to and is specific to macOS, as these fuses are only supported on macOS.
