Prior to versions 38.8.6, 39.8.1, 40.8.0, and 41.0.0-beta.8, on Windows, app.setLoginItemSettings({openAtLogin: true}) wrote the executable path to the Run registry key without quoting. If the app is installed to a path containing spaces, an attacker with write access to an ancestor directory may be able to cause a different executable to run at login instead of the intended app. On a default Windows install, standard system directories are protected against writes by standard users, so exploitation typically requires a non-standard install location. This issue has been patched in versions 38.8.6, 39.8.1, 40.8.0, and 41.0.0-beta.8."}], "lastModified": "2026-04-09T16:10:39.150", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:*:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "9CE003A2-03CC-4355-AA17-2CBD204EC6C3", "versionEndExcluding": "38.8.6"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:*:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "8F28D187-306E-4C9D-ADED-56DD79B04AF3", "versionEndExcluding": "39.8.1", "versionStartIncluding": "39.0.0"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:*:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "450879B0-EFE3-43AE-BE1F-2456A9C74AA7", "versionEndExcluding": "40.8.0", "versionStartIncluding": "40.0.0"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:alpha1:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "A20225D6-F435-4D09-962D-B162F521B6AD"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:alpha2:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "33712802-EB60-4E9A-83B8-9F2320B70CB4"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:alpha3:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "9D0A9142-54FE-47BB-9FEB-5E97528E28FE"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:alpha4:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "9E1D191F-DEAE-4DB3-9822-F31AF9FE3BAC"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:alpha5:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "45A8192F-3D2C-4987-9BBE-7ECC3F71965D"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:alpha6:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "EEA1A2E5-03DB-46CB-8427-7F31A8A7CE1C"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:beta1:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "B2DFCE75-BD3F-4537-B5B8-14097E262EA2"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:beta2:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "BC346E25-EA43-4615-8CDB-16D15D46E4FF"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:beta3:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "FA5B3C00-CAFC-4995-BF35-9920F3039E77"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:beta4:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "3672F3FB-6B5E-40FD-8A92-CB4DD6BC6A93"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:beta5:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "9EE4F8AE-21D2-4815-85B7-B7ECCC0D5059"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:beta6:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "D195760C-7DD9-4259-9042-EDE65AEAC1D6"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:electronjs:electron:41.0.0:beta7:*:*:*:node.js:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "B370859F-24D3-4B25-B580-1A5B6DB94BFE"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "security-advisories@github.com"}
