GHSA-fw47-9c62-h3vw Electron: HID and USB permission checks can be attributed to the wrong origin

• npm electron: >= 45.0.0-alpha.1, < 45.0.0-alpha.5 → fixed in 45.0.0-alpha.5 • npm electron: >= 44.0.0-alpha.1, < 44.3.0 → fixed in 44.3.0 • npm electron: >= 43.0.0-alpha.1, < 43.7.0 → fixed in 43.7.0 • npm electron: < 42.11.3 → fixed in 42.11.3

Impact For `hid` and `usb` permission checks made from an iframe, `session.setPermissionCheckHandler` was given the top-level frame's origin and details instead of the requesting frame's. Apps that allow these permissions based on origin could grant an embedded frame access intended for the top-level page. You're only affected if you use `setPermissionCheckHandler` with origin-based logic for `hid` or `usb` and embed cross-origin iframes with `allow="hid"` or `allow="usb"`. Apps that don't delegate those features to untrusted iframes are not affected. Workarounds Don't add `allow="hid"` / `allow="usb"` to untrusted iframes, or make the decision in your `select-hid-device` / `select-usb-device` handler using `details.frame`. Fixed Versions • `45.0.0-alpha.5` • `44.3.0` • `43.7.0` • `42.11.3` For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, email us at [email protected]
