{"cve":"CVE-2026-113796","nvd":{"published":"2026-10-21T17:18:24.570","modified":"2026-10-23T15:17:24.973","status":"Undergoing Analysis","description":"Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Prior to versions 42.11.3, 43.7.0, 44.3.0, and 45.0.0-alpha.6, Electron treated pages opened into a new window from links as application-initiated navigations instead of preserving the page containing the link as the initiator. The resulting top-level request could be classified as same-site, causing SameSite=Strict cookies to be sent and Sec-Fetch-Site not to identify the initiating page. An application that loads untrusted content and permits it to open new windows could therefore allow that content to make a credentialed request to another site that relies on SameSite cookies for CSRF protection. This issue is fixed in versions 42.11.3, 43.7.0, 44.3.0, and 45.0.0-alpha.6.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":4.2},"cwes":["CWE-352"],"references":["https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/079b9b1594ee62c336adc3aa430d4c1cf62bd51e","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/0e6aca0618eeae50a18cfd50548b8688820629ed","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/652ef79ac79c6767b31e59b2f28d0d46114645e5","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/98940cb274bb6adcb7cdb2da2d4495ac83119670","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/a86ae4205ba2ba7ae60a6caa9d5d3a44321f2f9b"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-23T16:39:26.291718493+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-113796","score":0.00219,"percentile":0.12233,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-2p8c-gr87-2676","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-2p8c-gr87-2676","summary":"Electron: SameSite cookie restrictions are not applied to windows opened from links","modified":"2026-10-22T17:00:04.178037719Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","purl":"pkg:npm/electron","ranges":[">=45.0.0-alpha.1 <45.0.0-alpha.6"],"fixed":["45.0.0-alpha.6"]},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","purl":"pkg:npm/electron","ranges":[">=44.0.0-alpha.1 <44.3.0"],"fixed":["44.3.0"]},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","purl":"pkg:npm/electron","ranges":[">=43.0.0-alpha.1 <43.7.0"],"fixed":["43.7.0"]},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","purl":"pkg:npm/electron","ranges":["<42.11.3"],"fixed":["42.11.3"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
