What is CVE-2026-34766?

A vulnerability in the Electron framework could expose desktop applications to improper device selection risks. The select-usb-device event callback fails to validate device IDs against a filtered list presented to the handler, potentially allowing malicious handlers to access unauthorized devices. While security-sensitive devices in the WebUSB blocklist remain protected, applications utilizing unconventional device-selection methods are at risk. This issue has been addressed in subsequent versions of the Electron framework, enhancing security and ensuring stricter compliance with device selection protocols.
