A flaw was found in Electron. Windows opened from a sandboxed top-level document do not inherit that document's active sandbox restrictions. An attacker capable of delivering untrusted content to a sandboxed document can open a popup window that runs with the application's full origin rather than the restricted origin. This can lead to a sandbox bypass, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive application data or internal resources. electron: Electron: Sandbox bypass via popup window creation A flaw was found in Electron where child windows opened from a sandboxed top-level document fail to inherit the document's active HTML sandbox restrictions. An attacker capable of delivering untrusted content to a sandboxed document that is permitted to open popups can spawn a window running under the application's full origin. This leads to a sandbox bypass, enabling unauthorized access to sensitive application data or internal resources.
