Electron: HTTP Response Header Injection in custom protocol handlers and webRequest

Published: 4/3/2026Modified: 4/6/2026
Also known as:GHSA-4p4r-m79c-wq3v

Description

### Impact Apps that register custom protocol handlers via `protocol.handle()` / `protocol.registerSchemesAsPrivileged()` or modify response headers via `webRequest.onHeadersReceived` may be vulnerable to HTTP response header injection if attacker-controlled input is reflected into a response header name or value. An attacker who can influence a header value may be able to inject additional response headers, affecting cookies, content security policy, or cross-origin access controls. Apps that do not reflect external input into response headers are not affected. ### Workarounds Validate or sanitize any untrusted input before including it in a response header name or value. ### Fixed Versions * `41.0.3` * `40.8.3` * `39.8.3` * `38.8.6` ### For more information If there are any questions or comments about this advisory, send an email to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
