{"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":"### Impact\nThis vulnerability 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`.\n\nPlease note the misleadingly named `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` option does not implicitly grant Node.js access rather it depends on the existing `sandbox` setting.  If your application is sandboxed then `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` just gives access to the sandboxed renderer APIs (which includes `ipcRenderer`).\n\nIf your 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.\n\n### Patches\nThis has been patched and the following Electron versions contain the fix:\n\n* `18.0.0-beta.6`\n* `17.2.0`\n* `16.2.6`\n* `15.5.5`\n\n### Workarounds\nEnsure that all IPC message handlers appropriately validate `senderFrame` as per our [security tutorial here](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/docs/tutorial/security.md#17-validate-the-sender-of-all-ipc-messages).\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).","published":"2022-06-13T21:05:10Z","modified":"2026-10-28T02:30:52.331184530Z","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"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/electron/electron"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-28T02:30:52.331184530Z"}}
