Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The npm package electron is affected in versions before 42.11.1, from 43.0.0-alpha.1 up to but not including 43.5.1, from 44.0.0-alpha.1 up to but not including 44.1.1, and from 45.0.0-alpha.1 up to but not including 45.0.0-alpha.4. A loaded extension without the tabs permission or matching host permissions could call chrome.tabs.query() and read the URL and title of every webContents in its session. Apps are affected only if they load extensions they do not fully trust; the fix is to upgrade to 42.11.1, 43.5.1, 44.1.1, or 45.0.0-alpha.4, and until then to load only trusted extensions.
