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 Access Control. Apps using both contextIsolation and sandbox: true or nativeWindowOpen: true are affected. Code running in the main world context in the renderer can reach into the isolated Electron context and perform privileged actions.
