{"cve":"CVE-2026-113798","nvd":{"published":"2026-10-21T17:18:24.937","modified":"2026-10-22T17:29:28.470","status":"Undergoing Analysis","description":"Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Prior to versions 42.11.9, 43.7.6, 44.5.0, and 45.0.0-alpha.13, pointerLock permission requests from some cross-origin iframes caused session.setPermissionRequestHandler() to receive the top-level frame's requestingUrl and isMainFrame values instead of those of the requesting frame. An application that embeds untrusted iframe content and grants pointer lock based on the requesting origin could therefore grant the permission under the top-level page's identity. Applications that deny pointerLock for untrusted embedded content are not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 42.11.9, 43.7.6, 44.5.0, and 45.0.0-alpha.13.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","score":5.4},"cwes":["CWE-346"],"references":["https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/076c7496791a45968cf8d9e76e9657bc161ea979","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/0b680cfa1ffa70a50282da53efde37a210d5223b","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/1755ee598697356959219beefee1e139bc3f8207","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/4073e9f4712f61e6b8abd5548673cc7638f6c1a1","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/a48e6eaaafa85b6fc40f7431ceec4fd6ef4bb899"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-23T16:39:26.291718493+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-113798","score":0.00244,"percentile":0.15403,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-x562-297c-g43g","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-x562-297c-g43g","summary":"Electron: Pointer lock permission requests can be attributed to the wrong frame","modified":"2026-10-22T17:00:04.181178853Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","purl":"pkg:npm/electron","ranges":[">=45.0.0-alpha.1 <45.0.0-alpha.13"],"fixed":["45.0.0-alpha.13"]},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","purl":"pkg:npm/electron","ranges":[">=44.0.0-alpha.1 <44.5.0"],"fixed":["44.5.0"]},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","purl":"pkg:npm/electron","ranges":[">=43.0.0-alpha.1 <43.7.6"],"fixed":["43.7.6"]},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","purl":"pkg:npm/electron","ranges":["<42.11.9"],"fixed":["42.11.9"]}]}],"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).
