CVE-2026-34766: Electron: USB device selection not validated against filtered device list

April 3, 2026 (updated April 6, 2026)

The select-usb-device event callback did not validate the chosen device ID against the filtered list that was presented to the handler. An app whose handler could be influenced to select a device ID outside the filtered set would grant access to a device that did not match the renderer’s requested filters or was listed in exclusionFilters.

The WebUSB security blocklist remained enforced regardless, so security-sensitive devices on the blocklist were not affected. The practical impact is limited to apps with unusual device-selection logic.
