CVE-2026-70610 Details
Description
Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Prior to 39.8.9, 40.9.2, 41.2.2, and 42.0.0-beta.4, objects copied across the contextBridge boundary from untrusted content could carry an attacker-influenced prototype, enabling prototype-pollution-style attacks against preload code despite context isolation being enabled. Apps are only affected if their preload code accepts object arguments from untrusted content and reads properties from them without own-property checks, while apps that only accept primitive arguments or validate object arguments are not affected. This issue is fixed in 39.8.9, 40.9.2, 41.2.2, and 42.0.0-beta.4.
A vulnerability exists in Electron's context bridge implementation, allowing objects from untrusted content to carry an attacker-influenced prototype. This could lead to prototype-pollution-style attacks on preload code, even with context isolation enabled. The issue affects Electron versions prior to 39.8.9, 40.0.0-alpha.1 through 40.9.2, 41.0.0-alpha.1 through 41.2.2, and 42.0.0-alpha.1 through 42.0.0-beta.4. Apps are only vulnerable if their preload code accepts object arguments from untrusted content and reads properties without checking for ownership. Those that only accept primitive values or validate object arguments are not impacted.
Update to Electron versions 39.8.9, 40.9.2, 41.2.2, or 42.0.0-beta.4.
