A flaw was found in Electron. When an application registers a custom scheme using file or HTTP protocol handlers with Fetch API support enabled but Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) disabled, responses remain script-readable across origins. If untrusted content is loaded within the same session, an attacker can exploit this vulnerability to bypass origin restrictions and read sensitive application data, resulting in information disclosure. electron: Electron: Cross-origin information disclosure via improper CORS enforcement in custom protocol handlers A flaw was found in Electron where responses served via protocol.registerFileProtocol or protocol.registerHttpProtocol for custom schemes registered with supportFetchAPI enabled but corsEnabled disabled remain script-readable across origins. If untrusted content is loaded within the same session, an attacker can exploit this behavior to bypass the same-origin policy and read sensitive application data, resulting in information disclosure.
