{"id":"GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9","summary":"Electron: Mitigation for compromised eMudhra intermediate certificates","details":"### Impact\n\nA set of eMudhra intermediate certificates were compromised and are being blocked by browsers and other TLS clients. This Electron update adds the same block to both Chromium networking and Node.js `tls`, `https` and `fetch`. On earlier versions, an attacker holding a certificate issued through these intermediates and able to intercept network traffic could impersonate a TLS server to an app.\n\nApps are only affected if they make TLS connections over a network an attacker can intercept. Apps that make no network connections are not affected.\n\nOther software has shipped the same mitigation, including Go (CVE-2026-111943) and Firefox (CVE-2026-113470).\n\n### Workarounds\n\nThere are no app side workarounds, you must update to a patched version of Electron.\n\n### Fixed Versions\n\n* `45.0.0-beta.6`\n* `44.9.1`\n* `43.8.1`\n* `42.11.16`\n\n### For more information\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory, email us at [security@electronjs.org](mailto:security@electronjs.org)","aliases":["CVE-2026-115570"],"modified":"2026-10-23T21:00:04.300556031Z","published":"2026-10-23T20:53:41Z","database_specific":{"nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-299"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-10-23T20:53:41Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/security/advisories/GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/55127"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/55128"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/55129"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/55130"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/093583c71be71c85453e6e225137bf2af755fbcc"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/1d2f13b1985444a38abf389db38228ac42f5bcad"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/817c43f925677eb88034bfba4f0b8dfd28e7ad20"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/e02265be96c5e13ae43644ef482b718e1e800499"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v42.11.16"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v43.8.1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v44.9.1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v45.0.0-beta.6"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"electron","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/electron"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"45.0.0-alpha.1"},{"fixed":"45.0.0-beta.6"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/10/GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9/GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9.json"}},{"package":{"name":"electron","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/electron"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"44.0.0-alpha.1"},{"fixed":"44.9.1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/10/GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9/GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9.json"}},{"package":{"name":"electron","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/electron"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"43.0.0-alpha.1"},{"fixed":"43.8.1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/10/GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9/GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9.json"}},{"package":{"name":"electron","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/electron"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"42.11.16"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/10/GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9/GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"}]}
