CVE-2026-34767
Description
A flaw was found in Electron, a framework used for developing cross-platform desktop applications. This vulnerability, known as HTTP response header injection, occurs when an application reflects attacker-controlled input into a response header. A remote attacker could exploit this to inject additional response headers, potentially compromising security controls like cookies, content security policy, or cross-origin access controls. This could lead to unauthorized data access or manipulation within affected applications. Apps that do not reflect external input into response headers are not affected.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
