CVE-2026-52877 PUBLISHED

Streambert : Insecure Protocol Execution in open-external IPC Handler

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 08.06.2026 Published: 18.08.2026 Updated: 18.08.2026

Streambert is a cross-platform Electron Desktop App to stream and download video content. Prior to version 2.6.0, the open-external IPC handler in src/ipc/downloads.js passes a renderer-supplied url directly to Electron's shell.openExternal without validating its protocol. A compromised renderer can submit file: URIs or operating-system-specific custom schemes, causing the host to open local files, access remote resources through registered handlers, or launch scripts and applications supported by those handlers. This issue is fixed in version 2.6.0.
