Résumé

Electron: File and HTTP protocol handlers allow cross-origin reads without corsEnabled

Détails de l’avis

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.5
  • 43.4.1
  • 42.9.2
  • 41.10.6
