CVE-2026-102675: Electron: File and HTTP protocol handlers allow cross-origin reads without corsEnabled
Responses served through protocol.registerFileProtocol or protocol.registerHttpProtocol for a custom scheme registered with supportFetchAPI: true but without corsEnabled: true could be read cross-origin by web content. This completes the fix for CVE-2026-70604.
Apps are only affected if they register such a scheme, serve it through one of those handlers, and load untrusted content. Apps that set corsEnabled: true, or that do not load untrusted content, are not affected.
