Electron: nodeIntegrationInWorker not correctly scoped in shared renderer processes

Quick fix

GHSA-xwr5-m59h-vwqr — electron: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install electron@38.8.6

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`
