Electron: File and HTTP protocol handlers allow cross-origin reads without corsEnabled
Quick fix
GHSA-j84w-jfhq-vhvj — electron: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install electron@41.10.6Details
### 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`
