Electron Capture is Vulnerable to TCC Bypass via Misconfigured Node Fuses (macOS)
Summary
Electron Capture is Vulnerable to TCC Bypass via Misconfigured Node Fuses (macOS)
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Electron Capture facilitates video playback for screen-sharing and capture. In versions 2.19.1 and below, the elecap app on macOS allows local unprivileged users to bypass macOS TCC privacy protections by enabling ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE. This environment variable allows arbitrary Node.js code to be executed via the -e flag, which runs inside the main Electron context, inheriting any previously granted TCC entitlements (such as access to Documents, Downloads, etc.). This issue is fixed in version 2.20.0.
