CVE-2023-44402: ASAR Integrity bypass via filetype confusion in electron
(updated )
This only impacts apps that have the embeddedAsarIntegrityValidation
and onlyLoadAppFromAsar
fuses enabled. Apps without these fuses enabled are not impacted. This issue is specific to macOS as these fuses are only currently supported on macOS.
Specifically this issue can only be exploited if your app is launched from a filesystem the attacker has write access too. i.e. the ability to edit files inside the resources
folder in your app installation on Windows which these fuses are supposed to protect against.
