=== What is the potential impact?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If sandboxing is not enabled in an Electron application, the potential
|
||
|
|
impact can be severe and multifaceted:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
==== Security Breaches
|
||
|
|
Malicious code running within the application can gain unrestricted access
|
||
|
|
to system resources, leading to unauthorized data access, data exfiltration,
|
||
|
|
or even complete system compromise.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
==== Data Integrity
|
||
|
|
Without sandboxing, there is a higher risk of data corruption or manipulation,
|
||
|
|
as malicious scripts can interfere with the application's data handling processes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
==== User Privacy
|
||
|
|
Sensitive user information, such as personal data, credentials,
|
||
|
|
and other private information, can be exposed to unauthorized access, leading
|
||
|
|
to privacy violations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
==== Reputation Damage
|
||
|
|
Security incidents can lead to a loss of user trust and damage the reputation
|
||
|
|
of the organization responsible for the application, resulting in potential
|
||
|
|
financial and reputational losses.
