A vulnerability in versions prior to 11.5.0, 12.1.0, and 13.3.0 allows a sandboxed renderer to request a \"thumbnail\" image of an arbitrary file on the user's system. The thumbnail can potentially include significant parts of the original file, including textual data in many cases. Versions 15.0.0-alpha.10, 14.0.0, 13.3.0, 12.1.0, and 11.5.0 all contain a fix for the vulnerability. Two workarounds aside from upgrading are available. One may make the vulnerability significantly more difficult for an attacker to exploit by enabling `contextIsolation` in one's app. One may also disable the functionality of the `createThumbnailFromPath` API if one does not need it." } ] }, "impact": { "cvss": { "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "NONE", "baseScore": 6.8, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "scope": "CHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N", "version": "3.1" } }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-668: Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://github.com/electron/electron/security/advisories/GHSA-mpjm-v997-c4h4", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://github.com/electron/electron/security/advisories/GHSA-mpjm-v997-c4h4" }, { "name": "https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/30728", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/30728" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-mpjm-v997-c4h4", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }
