GHSA-j84w-jfhq-vhvjHighCVSS 7.4
Electron: File and HTTP protocol handlers allow cross-origin reads without corsEnabled
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
Impact
Responses served through protocol.registerFileProtocol or protocol.registerHttpProtocol for a custom scheme registered with supportFetchAPI: true but without corsEnabled: true could be read cross-origin by web content. This completes the fix for CVE-2026-70604.
Apps are only affected if they register such a scheme, serve it through one of those handlers, and load untrusted content. Apps that set corsEnabled: true, or that do not load untrusted content, are not affected.
Workarounds
Set corsEnabled: true on the scheme, or do not load untrusted content in windows that can reach it.
Fixed Versions
44.0.0-beta.543.4.142.9.241.10.6
