Audit an Electron desktop app for untrusted renderer content that reaches a Node or operating-system capability, after the webPreferences and the preload bridge surface are resolved. Covers nodeIntegration enabled with contextIsolation off, a preload that exposes raw ipcRenderer or a generic invoke passthrough, an ipcMain handler that trusts renderer input as a path, command, or URL, remote or attacker-influenced content loaded through loadURL with navigation unlocked, shell.openExternal…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Auditing Electron IPC trust: when renderer content reaches a native capability An Electron app is dangerous where content in a renderer, whether remote, injected through a cross-site-scripting, or arriving over a custom protocol, reaches a Node or operating-system capability. The marquee chain is a renderer bug escalating to code execution because the renderer can require Node directly, or because the preload bridge hands untrusted input to a native call. You audit it by resolving, per native sink, whether context isolation and the sandbox stand between the renderer and Node and whether the preload and IPC surface validate what they pass. The single most important false-positive killer is that context isolation and the sandbox being on make an otherwise alarming exposed symbol harmless, so resolve those two settings before judging any bridge. Renderer-side markup injection itself belongs to the client-side DOM skill; this skill owns the bridge and the IPC substrate. ## When to use - You are reviewing an Electron app's window configuration, its preload scripts, and its IPC handlers. …

How to install
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/auditing-electron-ipc-trust@sha256:a1bbbb46d940c4e5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.70f8609, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
