CVE-2026-34764: Electron: Use-after-free in offscreen shared texture release() callback

April 3, 2026 (updated April 6, 2026)

Apps that use offscreen rendering with GPU shared textures may be vulnerable to a use-after-free. Under certain conditions, the release() callback provided on a paint event texture can outlive its backing native state, and invoking it after that point dereferences freed memory in the main process, which may lead to a crash or memory corruption.

Apps are only affected if they use offscreen rendering with webPreferences.offscreen: { useSharedTexture: true }. Apps that do not enable shared-texture offscreen rendering are not affected.
