Prior to versions 42.11.3, 43.7.0, 44.3.0, and 45.0.0-alpha.6, Electron treated pages opened into a new window from links as application-initiated navigations instead of preserving the page containing the link as the initiator. The resulting top-level request could be classified as same-site, causing SameSite=Strict cookies to be sent and Sec-Fetch-Site not to identify the initiating page. An application that loads untrusted content and permits it to open new windows could therefore allow that content to make a credentialed request to another site that relies on SameSite cookies for CSRF protection. This issue is fixed in versions 42.11.3, 43.7.0, 44.3.0, and 45.0.0-alpha.6.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-21T16:04:42.688+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-21T16:04:42.688+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"electron","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"electron\",\n                    \"product\": \"electron\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"< 42.11.3\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \">= 43.0.0-alpha.1, < 43.7.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \">= 44.0.0-alpha.1, < 44.3.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \">= 45.0.0-alpha.1, < 45.0.0-alpha.6\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":4.2,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/electron/electron/security/advisories/GHSA-2p8c-gr87-2676","https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53683","https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53717","https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53718","https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53719","https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53721","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/079b9b1594ee62c336adc3aa430d4c1cf62bd51e","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/0e6aca0618eeae50a18cfd50548b8688820629ed","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/652ef79ac79c6767b31e59b2f28d0d46114645e5","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/98940cb274bb6adcb7cdb2da2d4495ac83119670","https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/a86ae4205ba2ba7ae60a6caa9d5d3a44321f2f9b","https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v42.11.3","https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v43.7.0","https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v44.3.0","https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v45.0.0-alpha.6"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-113796","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-113796","identifiers":["CVE-2026-113796"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
