Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties
In Electron, an arbitrary local file read is possible by defining unsafe window options on a child window opened via `window.open.` As a workaround, ensure you are calling `event.preventDefault()` on all `new-window` events where the `url` or `options` is not something you expect.

Trust Boundary Violation
In Electron, there is a context isolation bypass, meaning that code running in the main world context in the renderer can reach into the isolated Electron context and perform privileged actions. Apps using `contextIsolation` are affected.

Trust Boundary Violation
In Electron, there is a context isolation bypass. Code running in the main world context in the renderer can reach into the isolated Electron context and perform privileged actions. Apps using both `contextIsolation` and `contextBridge` are affected.

Improper Input Validation
In Electron the `will-navigate` event that apps use to prevent navigations to unexpected destinations as per our security recommendations can be bypassed when a sub-frame performs a top-frame navigation across sites. The issue is patched As a workaround sandbox all your iframes using the sandbox attribute. This will prevent them creating top-frame navigations and is good practice anyway.

IPC messages delivered to the wrong frame in Electron
IPC messages sent from the main process to a subframe in the renderer process, through `webContents.sendToFrame`, `event.reply` or when using the `remote` module, can in some cases be delivered to the wrong frame.

If your app does ANY of the following, then it is impacted by this issue:
- Uses `remote`
- Calls `webContents.sendToFrame`
- Calls `event.reply` in an IPC message handler

Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere
Electron is vulnerable to a context isolation bypass. Apps using both `contextIsolation` and `sandbox: true` are affected. Apps using both `contextIsolation` and `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames: true` are affected. This is a context isolation bypass, meaning that code running in the main world context in the renderer can reach into the isolated Electron context and perform privileged actions.
