Prior to 39.8.8, 40.9.0, 41.2.1, and 42.0.0-beta.3, the check Electron uses on macOS to confirm it was launched by a same-signed parent process could be bypassed by a local process. Apps that enable fuse-based hardening restricting ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE and NODE_OPTIONS to same-signed parents rely on this check, and a local attacker could bypass it and run code inside the signed app, inheriting its TCC permissions and keychain access. This issue is fixed in 39.8.8, 40.9.0, 41.2.1, and 42.0.0-beta.3.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-05T16:17:03.603+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-08T13:47:07.08+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · security-advisories@github.com · Secondary","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","score":6.3,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/0a6291a97d210db3733689e70a51f5711e38ed35","https://github.com/electron/electron/security/advisories/GHSA-jm7p-cc5g-qwxx"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-70597","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Analyzed","weaknesses":["CWE-367"],"productCriteria":["cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:*:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:42.0.0:alpha1:*:*:*:node.js:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:42.0.0:alpha2:*:*:*:node.js:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:42.0.0:alpha3:*:*:*:node.js:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:42.0.0:alpha4:*:*:*:node.js:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:42.0.0:alpha5:*:*:*:node.js:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:42.0.0:alpha6:*:*:*:node.js:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:42.0.0:beta1:*:*:*:node.js:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:42.0.0:beta2:*:*:*:node.js:*:*"],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-08-05T16:17:03.603","lastModified":"2026-10-08T13:47:07.080"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
