- **Severity:** CVSS 7.4 High
- **Critical:** No
- **Weakness (CWE):** [CWE-299](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/299.html)

Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 23 Oct 2026, 20:53 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `electron` (npm): affected `>=45.0.0-alpha.1, <45.0.0-beta.6 || >=44.0.0-alpha.1, <44.9.1 || >=43.0.0-alpha.1, <43.8.1 || <42.11.16`; fixed in `45.0.0-beta.6`, `44.9.1`, `43.8.1`, `42.11.16`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Electron versions before 42.11.16, from 43.0.0-alpha.1 up to 43.8.1, from 44.0.0-alpha.1 up to 44.9.1, and from 45.0.0-alpha.1 up to 45.0.0-beta.6 are affected by a mitigation for compromised eMudhra intermediate certificates. An attacker who holds a certificate issued through those intermediates and can intercept network traffic could impersonate a TLS server to an app, and only apps that make TLS connections over a network an attacker can intercept are affected. Upgrade to 42.11.16, 43.8.1, 44.9.1, or 45.0.0-beta.6 or later, since no app-side workaround exists.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
