{"id":"GHSA-x562-297c-g43g","summary":"Electron: Pointer lock permission requests can be attributed to the wrong frame","details":"### Impact\nFor `pointerLock` permission requests made from some cross-origin iframes, `session.setPermissionRequestHandler()` was given the top-level frame's `requestingUrl` and `isMainFrame` instead of the requesting frame's. Apps that grant pointer lock based on the requesting origin could grant it to embedded content under the top-level page's identity.\n\nApps are only affected if they embed untrusted content in iframes and decide `pointerLock` requests by origin in `setPermissionRequestHandler`. Apps that do not embed untrusted content, or that deny `pointerLock` for it, are not affected.\n\n### Workarounds\nDeny the `pointerLock` permission for web contents that embed untrusted frames.\n\n### Fixed Versions\n* `45.0.0-alpha.13`\n* `44.5.0`\n* `43.7.6`\n* `42.11.9`\n\n### For more information\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory, email us at [security@electronjs.org](mailto:security@electronjs.org)","aliases":["CVE-2026-113798"],"modified":"2026-10-22T17:00:04.181178853Z","published":"2026-10-22T16:47:15Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-10-22T16:47:15Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-10-21T17:18:24Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-346"],"severity":"MODERATE"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/security/advisories/GHSA-x562-297c-g43g"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-113798"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/54466"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/54465"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/54464"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/54463"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/54432"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/a48e6eaaafa85b6fc40f7431ceec4fd6ef4bb899"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/4073e9f4712f61e6b8abd5548673cc7638f6c1a1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/1755ee598697356959219beefee1e139bc3f8207"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/0b680cfa1ffa70a50282da53efde37a210d5223b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/076c7496791a45968cf8d9e76e9657bc161ea979"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v42.11.9"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v43.7.6"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v44.5.0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v45.0.0-alpha.13"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"electron","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/electron"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"45.0.0-alpha.1"},{"fixed":"45.0.0-alpha.13"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/10/GHSA-x562-297c-g43g/GHSA-x562-297c-g43g.json"}},{"package":{"name":"electron","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/electron"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"44.0.0-alpha.1"},{"fixed":"44.5.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/10/GHSA-x562-297c-g43g/GHSA-x562-297c-g43g.json"}},{"package":{"name":"electron","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/electron"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"43.0.0-alpha.1"},{"fixed":"43.7.6"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/10/GHSA-x562-297c-g43g/GHSA-x562-297c-g43g.json"}},{"package":{"name":"electron","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/electron"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"42.11.9"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/10/GHSA-x562-297c-g43g/GHSA-x562-297c-g43g.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L"}]}
