An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-21718 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- electron (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 13.6.6\n- electron (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 13.6.6\n- electron (npm): affected from 14.0.0-beta.1; fixed in 14.2.4\n- electron (npm): affected from 14.0.0-beta.1; fixed in 14.2.4\n- electron (npm): affected from 15.0.0-beta.1; fixed in 15.3.5\n- electron (npm): affected from 15.0.0-beta.1; fixed in 15.3.5\n- electron (npm): affected from 16.0.0-beta.1; fixed in 16.0.6\n- electron (npm): affected from 16.0.0-beta.1; fixed in 16.0.6\n- electron (npm): affected from 17.0.0-alpha.1; fixed in 17.0.0-alpha.6\n- electron (npm): affected from 17.0.0-alpha.1; fixed in 17.0.0-alpha.6\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-2022-21718/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21718/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-21718","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21718/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-21718","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3p22-ghq8-v749"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Electron framework","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Renderers can access random Bluetooth devices without permission if the app lacks a custom device selection handler, exposing sensitive hardware data.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"electron","vendor":"electronjs"}],"cvss":{"score":3.4,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-668","name":"Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere"}],"description":"Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. A vulnerability in versions prior to `17.0.0-alpha.6`, `16.0.6`, `15.3.5`, `14.2.4`, and `13.6.6` allows renderers to obtain access to a bluetooth device via the web bluetooth API if the app has not configured a custom `select-bluetooth-device` event handler.
