{"id":"CVE-2017-12581","aliases":[],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2017-12581","summary":"Electron vulnerable to remote command execution","details":"Electron before 1.6.8 allows remote command execution because of a `nodeIntegration` bypass vulnerability. This also affects all applications that bundle Electron code equivalent to 1.6.8 or earlier. Bypassing the Same Origin Policy (SOP) is a precondition; however, recent Electron versions do not have strict SOP enforcement. Combining an SOP bypass with a privileged URL internally used by Electron, it was possible to execute native Node.js primitives in order to run OS commands on the user's host. Specifically, a `chrome-devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html` window could be used to eval a Node.js `child_process.execFile` API call.","published":"2022-05-17T02:14:12Z","modified":"2023-11-08T03:58:52.151779Z","cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":4,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","fixedVersion":"1.6.8"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/05b6d91bf4c1e0ee65eeef70cd5d1bd1df125644","label":"electron/electron@05b6d91"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-12581"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/05b6d91bf4c1e0ee65eeef70cd5d1bd1df125644"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://blog.doyensec.com/2017/08/03/electron-framework-security.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://doyensec.com/resources/us-17-Carettoni-Electronegativity-A-Study-Of-Electron-Security.pdf"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2023-11-08T03:58:52.151779Z"}}
