      <title>CVE-2026-70603 — Electron: shell.openPath path validation bypass via embedded null byte</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-70603</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; electron&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Prior to 39.8.6, 40.9.0, 41.1.1, and 42.0.0-beta.1, shell.openPath() did not reject paths containing embedded null bytes. Apps that perform string-only validation of file paths, for example checking the file extension, before passing them to shell.openPath() could be bypassed, allowing an attacker-controlled path to open a different file than the one that passed validation. Apps are only affected if they pass paths derived from untrusted input to shell.openPath() and rely on string-based validation without a filesystem check. This issue is fixed in versions 39.8.6, 40.9.0, 41.1.1, and 42.0.0-beta.1.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
