CVE-2022-21718 (GCVE-0-2022-21718)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-03-22 16:25 – Updated: 2025-04-23 18:45

Title

Renderers can obtain access to random bluetooth device without permission in Electron

Summary

Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. A vulnerability in versions prior to `17.0.0-alpha.6`, `16.0.6`, `15.3.5`, `14.2.4`, and `13.6.6` allows renderers to obtain access to a bluetooth device via the web bluetooth API if the app has not configured a custom `select-bluetooth-device` event handler. This has been patched and Electron versions `17.0.0-alpha.6`, `16.0.6`, `15.3.5`, `14.2.4`, and `13.6.6` contain the fix. Code from the GitHub Security Advisory can be added to the app to work around the issue.

GHSA-3P22-GHQ8-V749

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-03-22 18:49 – Updated: 2022-03-22 18:49

Summary

Renderers can obtain access to random bluetooth device without permission in Electron

Details

Impact

This vulnerability allows renderers to obtain access to a random bluetooth device via the web bluetooth API if the app has not configured a custom select-bluetooth-device event handler. The device that is accessed is random and the attacker would have no way of selecting a specific device.

All current stable versions of Electron are affected.

Patches

This has been patched and the following Electron versions contain the fix: * 17.0.0-alpha.6 * 16.0.6 * 15.3.5 * 14.2.4 * 13.6.6

Workarounds

Adding this code to your app can workaround the issue.

app.on('web-contents-created', (event, webContents) => {
  webContents.on('select-bluetooth-device', (event, devices, callback) => {
    // Prevent default behavior
    event.preventDefault();
    // Cancel the request
    callback('');
  });
});
