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":"2026-08-05T16:17:04.8+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-08T13:53:48.053+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · security-advisories@github.com · Secondary","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://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-70605","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Analyzed","weaknesses":["CWE-918"],"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":"2026-08-05T16:17:04.800","lastModified":"2026-10-08T13:53:48.053"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
