Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the electron-updater implementation, which downloads and executes NSIS installers without signature verification (verifyUpdateCodeSignature is explicitly set to false in electron-builder.json). An attacker performing a man-in-the-middle attack can serve a malicious update manifest and installer that the client will install and execute without integrity or authenticity checks. Affected versions are through 1.1.6.
