electron is vulnerable to Improper Input Validation
53
Medium Risk
This Affects:
electronTL;DR
electron's embedded Chromium input stack accepts unvalidated mouse-capture requests from compromised renderer processes. After renderer compromise, crafted IPC can force mouse capture and leak cross-origin UI interaction data. Pre-fix builds allow cross-origin data exposure through the capture path. The backport validates SetMouseCapture requests in the browser process.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
Background info
electron is vulnerable to Improper Input Validation in versions 40.0.0 - 40.10.2 and 41.0.0 - 41.7.1.
How to fix this
