{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"CVE-2026-113798","aliases":["GHSA-x562-297c-g43g"],"summary":"Electron: Pointer lock permission requests can be attributed to the wrong frame","details":"### Impact\nFor `pointerLock` permission requests made from some cross-origin iframes, `session.setPermissionRequestHandler()` was given the top-level frame's `requestingUrl` and `isMainFrame` instead of the requesting frame's. Apps that grant pointer lock based on the requesting origin could grant it to embedded content under the top-level page's identity.\n\nApps are only affected if they embed untrusted content in iframes and decide `pointerLock` requests by origin in `setPermissionRequestHandler`. Apps that do not embed untrusted content, or that deny `pointerLock` for it, are not affected.\n\n### Workarounds\nDeny the `pointerLock` permission for web contents that embed untrusted frames.\n\n### Fixed Versions\n* `45.0.0-alpha.13`\n* `44.5.0`\n* `43.7.6`\n* `42.11.9`\n\n### For more information\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory, email us at
