Summary

Electron: USB device selection not validated against filtered device list

Details

Impact

The select-usb-device event callback did not validate the chosen device ID against the filtered list that was presented to the handler. An app whose handler could be influenced to select a device ID outside the filtered set would grant access to a device that did not match the renderer's requested filters or was listed in exclusionFilters.

The WebUSB security blocklist remained enforced regardless, so security-sensitive devices on the blocklist were not affected. The practical impact is limited to apps with unusual device-selection logic.

Workarounds

There are no app side workarounds, you must update to a patched version of Electron.

Fixed Versions

41.0.0-beta.8
40.7.0
39.8.0
38.8.6
