CVE-2026-48046: CWE-494: Download of Code Without Integrity Check in truelockmc streambert
Streambert is a cross-platform Electron Desktop App to stream and download video content. Versions prior to 2.5.0 contain an unvalidated auto-updater URL vulnerability that allows a compromised renderer process to make the main process download and execute an arbitrary binary, resulting in remote code execution. Version 2.5.0 contains a patch.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-48046 is a critical vulnerability in the Streambert Electron app before version 2.5.0. It arises from a lack of integrity checks on the auto-updater URL, enabling a compromised renderer process to instruct the main process to download and run arbitrary code. This results in remote code execution on the affected system. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-494 (Download of Code Without Integrity Check). Version 2.5.0 includes a patch that addresses this issue.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker who has compromised the renderer process to execute arbitrary code remotely by forcing the main process to download and run malicious binaries. This can lead to full system compromise of the host running Streambert versions prior to 2.5.0.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Streambert to version 2.5.0 or later, where the vulnerability has been patched. No other official remediation or temporary fixes are documented. Users should ensure they are running the patched version to prevent exploitation.
