Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. A vulnerability in versions prior to 17.0.0-alpha.6, 16.0.6, 15.3.5, 14.2.4, and 13.6.6 allows renderers to obtain access to a bluetooth device via the web bluetooth API if the app has not configured a custom select-bluetooth-device event handler. This has been patched and Electron versions 17.0.0-alpha.6, 16.0.6, 15.3.5, 14.2.4, and 13.6.6 contain the fix. Code from the GitHub Security Advisory can be added to the app to work around the issue.
