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 Information Exposure. A sandboxed renderer can request a "thumbnail" image of an arbitrary file on the user's system. Note: This can be partially fixed by enabling contextIsolation.
