A remote code execution vulnerability has been discovered affecting Electron apps that use custom protocol handlers. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2018-1000006.
Affected Platforms
Electron apps designed to run on Windows that register themselves as the default handler for a protocol, like myapp://, are vulnerable.
Such apps can be affected regardless of how the protocol is registered, e.g. using native code, the Windows registry, or Electron's app.setAsDefaultProtocolClient API.
macOS and Linux are not vulnerable to this issue.
Mitigation
We've published new versions of Electron which include fixes for this vulnerability: 1.8.2-beta.5, 1.7.12, and 1.6.17. We urge all Electron developers to update their apps to the latest stable version immediately.
Если по какой-то причине вы не можете обновить версию Electron, вы можете добавить -- в качестве последнего аргумента при вызове приложения . etAsDefaultProtocolClient, , который не позволяет Chromium анализировать дальнейшие параметры. The double dash -- signifies the end of command options, after which only positional parameters are accepted.
app.setAsDefaultProtocolClient(protocol, process.execPath, [
'--your-switches-here',
'--',
]);
Смотрите app.setAsfaultProtocolClient API для получения более подробной информации.
