Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. 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.Show less

Vulnerability related to an unquoted service path in Small HTTP Server 3.06.36, specifically affecting the executable located at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\shttps_mg\http.exe service'. This misconfiguration allows a local attacker to place a malicious executable with the same name in a higher priority directory, causing the service to execute the malicious file instead of the legitimate one. Exploiting this flaw could allow arbitrary code execution, unauthorized access to the system, or service disruption. To mitigate the risk, the service path must be properly quoted, and systems must be kept up to date with security patches, while restricting physical and network access.Show less
