How to fix?

Upgrade org.webjars.npm:electron to version 6.1.11, 7.2.4, 8.2.4 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 Privilege Escalation. This is a context isolation bypass, meaning that code running in the main world context in the renderer can reach into the isolated Electron context and perform privileged actions.

##Note: Only apps using contextIsolation are affected.
