    SSL Validation Defaults to False in electron-packager

    CVE-2016-10534 · GHSA-q43m-ffwr-rpcc

    Affected
    • npm electron-packager >= 5.2.1, < 7.0.0
    Fixed in
    7.0.0· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Affected versions of electron-packager configure the generated application to disable SSL certificate verification by default. This could allow an attacker with a privileged network position to launch a Man In The Middle (MITM) attack on the install process, intercepting the step where electron-packager downloads Electron for supported target platforms and architectures, and replacing the valid download with a tampered malicious one. This only affects users using the electron-packager CLI. The strict-ssl option defaults to true for the node.js API. Recommendation 1. Update to version 7.0.0 or later. 2. Delete the electron-download cache folder, which is by default located at ~/.electron.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 7.0.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
