CVE-2022-21718
March 22, 2022
Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. A vulnerability in versions prior to "17.0.0-alpha.6", "16.0.6", "15.3.5", "14.2.4", and "13.6.6" allows renderers to obtain access to a bluetooth device via the web bluetooth API if the app has not configured a custom "select-bluetooth-device" event handler. This has been patched and Electron versions "17.0.0-alpha.6", "16.0.6", "15.3.5", "14.2.4", and "13.6.6" contain the fix. Code from the GitHub Security Advisory can be added to the app to work around the issue.
