Electron: Service worker can spoof executeJavaScript IPC replies
Details
### Impact A service worker running in a session could spoof reply messages on the internal IPC channel used by `webContents.executeJavaScript()` and related methods, causing the main-process promise to resolve with attacker-controlled data.
Apps are only affected if they have service workers registered and use the result of `webContents.executeJavaScript()` (or `webFrameMain.executeJavaScript()`) in security-sensitive decisions.
### Workarounds Do not trust the return value of `webContents.executeJavaScript()` for security decisions. Use dedicated, validated IPC channels for security-relevant communication with renderers.
### Fixed Versions * `41.0.0` * `40.8.1` * `39.8.1` * `38.8.6`
