Descriptions

Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript (JS), HTML, and CSS. A vulnerability in versions prior to 18.0.0-beta.6, 17.2.0, 16.2.6, and 15.5.5 allows a renderer with JS execution to obtain access to a new renderer process with `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` enabled which in turn allows effective access to `ipcRenderer`. The `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` option does not implicitly grant Node.js access. Rather, it depends on the existing sandbox setting. If an application is sandboxed, then `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` just gives access to the sandboxed renderer APIs, which include `ipcRenderer`. If the application then additionally exposes IPC messages without IPC `senderFrame` validation that perform privileged actions or return confidential data this access to `ipcRenderer` can in turn compromise your application / user even with the sandbox enabled. Electron versions 18.0.0-beta.6, 17.2.0, 16.2.6, and 15.5.5 contain a fix for this issue. As a workaround, ensure that all IPC message handlers appropriately validate `senderFrame`.

Electron es un marco de trabajo para escribir aplicaciones de escritorio multiplataforma utilizando JavaScript (JS), HTML y CSS. Una vulnerabilidad en las versiones anteriores a 18.0.0-beta.6, 17.2.0, 16.2.6 y 15.5.5 permite que un renderizador con ejecución de JS obtenga acceso a un nuevo proceso de renderización con "nodeIntegrationInSubFrames" habilitado, lo que a su vez permite el acceso efectivo a "ipcRenderer". La opción "nodeIntegrationInSubFrames" no concede implícitamente el acceso a Node.js. Más bien, depende de la configuración del sandbox existente. Si una aplicación está en sandbox, entonces "nodeIntegrationInSubFrames" sólo da acceso a las APIs del renderizador en sandbox, que incluyen "ipcRenderer". Si la aplicación expone adicionalmente mensajes IPC sin la comprobación de IPC "senderFrame" que llevan a cabo acciones privilegiadas o devuelven datos confidenciales este acceso a "ipcRenderer" puede a su vez comprometer su aplicación / usuario incluso con el sandbox habilitado. Electron versiones 18.0.0-beta.6, 17.2.0, 16.2.6 y 15.5.5 contienen una corrección para este problema. Como solución, asegúrese de que todos los manejadores de mensajes IPC comprueban apropiadamente "senderFrame"
