GHSA-6r2x-8pq8-9489

Electron vulnerable to Heap Buffer Overflow in NativeImage

Quick fix

GHSA-6r2x-8pq8-9489 — electron: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install electron@28.3.2

Details

### Impact The `nativeImage.createFromPath()` and `nativeImage.createFromBuffer()` functions call a function downstream that is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow. An Electron program that uses either of the affected functions is vulnerable to a buffer overflow if an attacker is in control of the image's height, width, and contents.

### Workaround There are no app-side workarounds for this issue. You must update your Electron version to be protected.

### Patches

- `v28.3.2` - `v29.3.3` - `v30.0.3`
