Descriptions

GitHub Electron versions 1.8.2-beta.3 and earlier, 1.7.10 and earlier, 1.6.15 and earlier has a vulnerability in the protocol handler, specifically Electron apps running on Windows 10, 7 or 2008 that register custom protocol handlers can be tricked in arbitrary command execution if the user clicks on a specially crafted URL. This has been fixed in versions 1.8.2-beta.4, 1.7.11, and 1.6.16.

GitHub Electron en versiones 1.8.2-beta.3 y anteriores, 1.7.10 y anteriores y 1.6.15 y anteriores tiene una vulnerabilidad en el manipulador de protocolos, específicamente en las apps Electron que se ejecutan en Windows 10, 7 o 2008 y que registren manipuladores personalizados de protocolos, que permite que se les pueda engañar para que ejecuten comandos arbitrarios si el usuario hace clic en una URL especialmente manipulada. Esto se ha solucionado en las versiones 1.8.2-beta.4, 1.7.11 y 1.6.16.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Google Web Designer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of URI handlers. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.

Exodus Wallet (ElectronJS Framework) suffers from a remote code execution vulnerability.
