It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-34768 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- electron (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 38.8.6\n- electron (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 38.8.6\n- electron (npm): affected from 39.0.0-alpha.1; fixed in 39.8.1\n- electron (npm): affected from 39.0.0-alpha.1; fixed in 39.8.1\n- electron (npm): affected from 40.0.0-alpha.1; fixed in 40.8.0\n- electron (npm): affected from 40.0.0-alpha.1; fixed in 40.8.0\n- electron (npm): affected from 41.0.0-alpha.1; fixed in 41.0.0-beta.8\n- electron (npm): affected from 41.0.0-alpha.1; fixed in 41.0.0-beta.8\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-2026-34768/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-34768/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-34768","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-34768/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-34768","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jfqx-fxh3-c62j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Electron framework","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers with write access to ancestor directories can execute arbitrary code at login if the Electron app is installed in a path with spaces.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"electron","vendor":"electronjs"}],"cvss":{"score":3.9,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-428","name":"Unquoted Search Path or Element"}],"description":"Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Prior to versions 38.8.6, 39.8.1, 40.8.0, and 41.0.0-beta.8, on Windows, app.setLoginItemSettings({openAtLogin: true}) wrote the executable path to the Run registry key without quoting. If the app is installed to a path containing spaces, an attacker with write access to an ancestor directory may be able to cause a different executable to run at login instead of the intended app. On a default Windows install, standard system directories are protected against writes by standard users, so exploitation typically requires a non-standard install location. This issue has been patched in versions 38.8.6, 39.8.1, 40.8.0, and 41.0.0-beta.8.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Electron: Unquoted executable path in app.setLoginItemSettings on Windows","id":"CVE-2026-34768","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":"electronjs:electron","products":["electronjs:electron"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":8,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Electron: Renderer command-line switch injection via undocumented commandLineSwitches webPreference","id":"CVE-2026-34769"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["38.8.6"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"electron","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jfqx-fxh3-c62j"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["38.8.6"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"electron","purl":"pkg:npm/electron","source":"GHSA-jfqx-fxh3-c62j"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["39.8.1"],"introduced":["39.0.0-alpha.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"electron","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jfqx-fxh3-c62j"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["39.8.1"],"introduced":["39.0.0-alpha.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"electron","purl":"pkg:npm/electron","source":"GHSA-jfqx-fxh3-c62j"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["40.8.0"],"introduced":["40.0.0-alpha.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"electron","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jfqx-fxh3-c62j"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["40.8.0"],"introduced":["40.0.0-alpha.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"electron","purl":"pkg:npm/electron","source":"GHSA-jfqx-fxh3-c62j"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["41.0.0-beta.8"],"introduced":["41.0.0-alpha.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"electron","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jfqx-fxh3-c62j"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["41.0.0-beta.8"],"introduced":["41.0.0-alpha.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"electron","purl":"pkg:npm/electron","source":"GHSA-jfqx-fxh3-c62j"}],"prev":{"headline":"Electron: HTTP Response Header Injection in custom protocol handlers and webRequest","id":"CVE-2026-34767"},"products":["electron"],"published":"2026-04-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Chromium Remote Code Execution in electron","id":"CVE-2017-16151","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-07"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Electron protocol handler browser vulnerable to Command Injection","id":"CVE-2018-1000118","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-07"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Electron: Context Isolation bypass via contextBridge VideoFrame transfer","id":"CVE-2026-34780","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-04"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Electron: \u003cwebview\u003e can enable Node.js integration in Web Workers despite embedder restrictions","id":"CVE-2026-102676","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-29"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Electron drops inherited HTML sandbox restrictions for popups opened through OpenURLFromTab","id":"CVE-2026-102673","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-29"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Electron: Windows opened from a sandboxed top-level document do not inherit its sandbox restrictions","id":"CVE-2026-102674","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-29"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Electron: Use-after-free in offscreen child window paint callback","id":"CVE-2026-34774","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-03"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-06","vendors":["electron"]},"summary":"Attackers with write access to ancestor directories can execute arbitrary code at login if the Electron app is installed in a path with spaces.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-34768/"}
