Electron: AppleScript injection in app.moveToApplicationsFolder on macOS
Details
### Impact On macOS, `app.moveToApplicationsFolder()` used an AppleScript fallback path that did not properly handle certain characters in the application bundle path. Under specific conditions, a crafted launch path could lead to arbitrary AppleScript execution when the user accepted the move-to-Applications prompt.
Apps are only affected if they call `app.moveToApplicationsFolder()`. Apps that do not use this API are not affected.
### Workarounds There are no app side workarounds, developers must update to a patched version of Electron.
### Fixed Versions * `41.0.0-beta.8` * `40.8.0` * `39.8.1` * `38.8.6`
