🚨 Unpreventable top-level navigation

Impact

The will-navigate event that apps use to prevent navigations to unexpected destinations as per our security recommendations can be bypassed when a sub-frame performs a top-frame navigation across sites.

Patches

• 11.0.0-beta.1
• 10.0.1
• 9.3.0
• 8.5.1

Workarounds

Sandbox all your iframes using the sandbox attribute. This will prevent them creating top-frame navigations and is good practice anyway.

🚨 Context isolation bypass in Electron

Impact

Apps using both contextIsolation and sandbox: true are affected.
Apps using both contextIsolation and nativeWindowOpen: true are affected.

This is a context isolation bypass, meaning that code running in the main world context in the renderer can reach into the isolated Electron context and perform privileged actions.

Workarounds

There are no app-side workarounds, you must update your Electron version to be protected.

Fixed Versions

• 11.0.0-beta.6
• 10.1.2
• 9.3.1
• 8.5.2
