Chromium RCE Vulnerability Fix	2017-09-27T00:00:00.000Z	zeke	chromium-rce-vulnerability	security

A remote code execution vulnerability has been discovered in Google Chromium that affects all recent versions of Electron. Any Electron app that accesses remote content is vulnerable to this exploit, regardless of whether the sandbox option is enabled.

We've published two new versions of electron 1.7.8 and 1.6.14, both of which include a fix for this vulnerability. We urge all Electron developers to update their apps to the latest stable version immediately:

npm i electron@latest --save-dev
