Details

Impact

The nodeIntegrationInWorker webPreference was not correctly scoped in all configurations. In certain process-sharing scenarios, workers spawned in frames configured with nodeIntegrationInWorker: false could still receive Node.js integration.

Apps are only affected if they enable nodeIntegrationInWorker. Apps that do not use nodeIntegrationInWorker are not affected.

Workarounds

Avoid enabling nodeIntegrationInWorker in apps that also open child windows or embed content with differing webPreferences.

Fixed Versions

  • 41.0.0
  • 40.8.4
  • 39.8.4
  • 38.8.6

Is GHSA-xwr5-m59h-vwqr in any of your client repos?

Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected electron, and gives you the command that fixes it.
