CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-295  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade electron to version 1.4.12 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 Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) due to a flaw in Chrome where SSL/TLS certificates are incorrectly rejected 10 weeks from the build time of libchromiumcontent. This could cause users to use an insecure protocol.
