An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-15096 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- electron (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 6.1.11\n- electron (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 6.1.11\n- electron (npm): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.2.4\n- electron (npm): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.2.4\n- electron (npm): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.2.4\n- electron (npm): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.2.4\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-15096/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-15096/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-15096","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-15096/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-15096","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6vrv-94jv-crrg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Electron framework","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass context isolation in Electron apps to execute privileged actions from the renderer process, requiring an upgrade to secure the application.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"electron","vendor":"electronjs"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-501","name":"Trust Boundary Violation"}],"description":"In Electron before versions 6.1.1, 7.2.4, 8.2.4, and 9.0.0-beta21, there is a context isolation bypass, meaning that code running in the main world context in the renderer can reach into the isolated Electron context and perform privileged actions.
