CVE-2025-54871

Electron Capture facilitates video playback for screen-sharing and capture. In versions 2.19.1 and below, the elecap app on macOS allows local unprivileged users to bypass macOS TCC privacy protections by enabling ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE. This environment variable allows arbitrary Node.js code to be executed via the -e flag, which runs inside the main Electron context, inheriting any previously granted TCC entitlements (such as access to Documents, Downloads, etc.). This issue is fixed in version 2.20.0.

Summary
  • (es) Electron Capture facilita la reproducción de video para compartir y capturar pantalla. En las versiones 2.19.1 y anteriores, la aplicación elecap en macOS permite a usuarios locales sin privilegios eludir las protecciones de privacidad de TCC de macOS al habilitar ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE. Esta variable de entorno permite ejecutar código Node.js arbitrario mediante el indicador -e, que se ejecuta dentro del contexto principal de Electron y hereda cualquier autorización de TCC previamente otorgada (como acceso a Documentos, Descargas, etc.). Este problema se solucionó en la versión 2.20.0.
