Prior to 42.11.16, 43.8.1, 44.9.1, and 45.0.0-beta.6, Electron does not block compromised eMudhra intermediate certificates in Chromium networking, Node.js tls, Node.js https, or Node.js fetch. An attacker who holds a certificate issued through one of these intermediates and can intercept network traffic can impersonate a TLS server to an affected application. This issue is fixed in versions 42.11.16, 43.8.1, 44.9.1, and 45.0.0-beta.6.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `electron >= 45.0.0-alpha.1, < 45.0.0-beta.6`\n- `electron >= 44.0.0-alpha.1, < 44.9.1`\n- `electron >= 43.0.0-alpha.1, < 43.8.1`\n- `electron < 42.11.16`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2026-115570)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `electron >= 45.0.0-alpha.1, < 45.0.0-beta.6`\n- `electron >= 44.0.0-alpha.1, < 44.9.1`\n- `electron >= 43.0.0-alpha.1, < 43.8.1`\n- `electron < 42.11.16`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `electron 45.0.0-beta.6`\n- `electron 44.9.1`\n- `electron 43.8.1`\n- `electron 42.11.16`\n\nSource: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9","depth":"twilight","depthScore":41,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":40.7,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
