{"id":"CVE-2022-29247","aliases":["GHSA-mq8j-3h7h-p8g7"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2022-29247","summary":"Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere in Electron","details":"Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript (JS), HTML, and CSS. A vulnerability in versions prior to 18.0.0-beta.6, 17.2.0, 16.2.6, and 15.5.5 allows a renderer with JS execution to obtain access to a new renderer process with `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` enabled which in turn allows effective access to `ipcRenderer`. The `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` option does not implicitly grant Node.js access. Rather, it depends on the existing sandbox setting. If an application is sandboxed, then `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` just gives access to the sandboxed renderer APIs, which include `ipcRenderer`. If the application then additionally exposes IPC messages without IPC `senderFrame` validation that perform privileged actions or return confidential data this access to `ipcRenderer` can in turn compromise your application / user even with the sandbox enabled. Electron versions 18.0.0-beta.6, 17.2.0, 16.2.6, and 15.5.5 contain a fix for this issue. As a workaround, ensure that all IPC message handlers appropriately validate `senderFrame`.","published":"2022-06-13T21:05:10Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:27.569530845Z","cvss":{"score":2.2,"severity":"LOW","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N"},"epss":{"score":0.00997,"percentile":0.59606,"asOf":"2026-08-23"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","fixedVersion":"15.5.5"},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","fixedVersion":"16.2.6"},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","fixedVersion":"17.2.0"},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"electron","fixedVersion":"18.0.0-beta.6"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/29xxx/CVE-2022-29247.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron/security/advisories/GHSA-mq8j-3h7h-p8g7"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-29247"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:27.569530845Z"}}
