How to fix?

Upgrade electron to version 13.6.8, 14.2.4, 15.3.5 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 Improper Input Validation via Mojo. If the endpoint's task runner does not match the current task runner (or an equivalent main-thread task runner for the ChannelProxy) when executing a message dispatch task for that endpoint, it dispatches it on the wrong sequence.
