Electron: HTTP Response Header Injection in custom protocol handlers and webRequest
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Apps that register custom protocol handlers via `protocol.handle()` / `protocol.registerSchemesAsPrivileged()` or modify response headers via `webRequest.onHeadersReceived` may be vulnerable to HTTP response header injection if attacker-controlled input is reflected into a response header name or value.
An attacker who can influence a header value may be able to inject additional response headers, affecting cookies, content security policy, or cross-origin access controls.
Apps that do not reflect external input into response headers are not affected.
### Workarounds
Validate or sanitize any untrusted input before including it in a response header name or value.
### Fixed Versions
* `41.0.3`
* `40.8.3`
* `39.8.3`
* `38.8.6`
