Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Prior to versions 38.8.6, 39.8.3, 40.8.3, and 41.0.3, apps that register custom protocol handlers via protocol.handle() / protocol.registerSchemesAsPrivileged() or modify response headers via webRequest.onHeadersReceived may be vulnerable to HTTP response header injection if attacker-controlled input is reflected into a response header name or value. An attacker who can influence a header value may be able to inject additional response headers, affecting cookies, content security policy, or cross-origin access controls. Apps that do not reflect external input into response headers are not affected. This issue has been patched in versions 38.8.6, 39.8.3, 40.8.3, and 41.0.3.

GHSA-4p4r-m79c-wq3v — Electron: HTTP Response Header Injection in custom protocol handlers and webRequest

2026-10-05T17:54:19.960368+00:00

Affected: npm: electron

### Impact Apps that register custom protocol handlers via `protocol.handle()` / `protocol.registerSchemesAsPrivileged()` or modify response headers via `webRequest.onHeadersReceived` may be vulnerable to HTTP response header injection if attacker-controlled input is reflected into a response header name or value.

An attacker who can influence a header value may be able to inject additional response headers, affecting cookies, content security policy, or cross-origin access controls.

Apps that do not reflect external input into response headers are not affected.

### Workarounds Validate or sanitize any untrusted input before including it in a response header name or value.

### Fixed Versions * `41.0.3` * `40.8.3` * `39.8.3` * `38.8.6`
