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 Out-of-Bounds when the V8 engine processes a carefully crafted HTML page. An attacker can perform an out of bounds memory read, thereby potentially gaining unauthorized access to sensitive information.
