Electron: Context Isolation bypass via contextBridge VideoFrame transfer
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Apps that pass `VideoFrame` objects (from the WebCodecs API) across the `contextBridge` are vulnerable to a context isolation bypass. An attacker who can execute JavaScript in the main world (for example, via XSS) can use a bridged `VideoFrame` to gain access to the isolated world, including any Node.js APIs exposed to the preload script.
Apps are only affected if a preload script returns, resolves, or passes a `VideoFrame` object to the main world via `contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld()`. Apps that do not bridge `VideoFrame` objects are not affected.
### Workarounds
Do not pass `VideoFrame` objects across `contextBridge`. If an app needs to transfer video frame data, serialize it to an `ArrayBuffer` or `ImageBitmap` before bridging.
### Fixed Versions
* `41.0.0-beta.8`
* `40.7.0`
* `39.8.0`
