Electron: contextBridge object copy honors prototype setters

Published Aug 5, 2026·Updated Aug 5, 2026

NVD Description

### Impact Objects copied across the `contextBridge` boundary from untrusted content could carry an attacker-influenced prototype, enabling prototype-pollution-style attacks against preload code despite context isolation being enabled. Apps are only affected if their preload code accepts object arguments from untrusted content and reads properties from them without own-property checks. Apps that only accept primitive arguments, or that validate object arguments, are not affected. ### Workarounds Validate objects received from untrusted content with own-property checks (`Object.hasOwn`), or copy them onto a null-prototype object before use. ### Fixed Versions * `42.0.0-beta.4` * `41.2.2` * `40.9.2` * `39.8.9` ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, email Electron at [security@electronjs.org](mailto:security@electronjs.org)
