### Impact When a custom protocol handler returned a `ProtocolResponse` with a `url` and no `session`, Electron made the upstream request through `defaultSession` instead of the session that handled the protocol. A cached response could then be reused across otherwise isolated session partitions. Apps that use `ProtocolResponse.url`, omit `ProtocolResponse.session`, and rely on separate sessions to isolate content are affected. Apps that set an explicit `session`, or that do not isolate content across sessions, are not affected. ### Workarounds Set `ProtocolResponse.session` explicitly so the request uses the intended session's cache. ### Fixed Versions * `43.0.0` * `42.5.1` * `41.9.1` * `40.10.6` ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, email Electron at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
### Impact 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 (the default) and expose the response body. Apps that only request fixed, trusted URLs are not affected. ### Workarounds Set `redirect: 'error'` or `redirect: 'manual'` on requests to untrusted URLs and validate any redirect target before following it. ### Fixed Versions * `42.0.0-beta.3` * `41.2.1` * `40.9.0` * `39.8.8` ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, email Electron at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
Ghost is a Node.js content management system. From 4.9.0 until 6.54.1, an input validation issue allowed any staff user to create a post with content in feature_image_caption that could be used to hijack another staff user's Ghost Admin session, resulting in privilege escalation. This issue is fixed in 6.54.1.
