Prior to 39.8.8, 40.9.0, 41.2.1, and 42.0.0-beta.3, when following HTTP redirects, net.fetch() and net.request() did not restrict which schemes a redirect could target. A remote server could redirect a request to a local resource, and if the app returns or forwards the response body, local file contents could be disclosed. Apps are only affected if they make net requests to attacker-influenced URLs with redirects followed and expose the response body. This issue is fixed in versions 39.8.8, 40.9.0, 41.2.1, and 42.0.0-beta.3.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-05T16:04:12.428+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-08-06T14:24:06.012+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"electron","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"electron\",\n                    \"product\": \"electron\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"< 39.8.8\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \">= 40.0.0-alpha.1, < 40.9.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \">= 41.0.0-alpha.1, < 41.2.1\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \">= 42.0.0-alpha.1, < 42.0.0-beta.3\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":5.9,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/electron/electron/security/advisories/GHSA-v64r-4m7r-3mvq"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-70605","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-70605","identifiers":["CVE-2026-70605"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
