- Around line 8-64: Update ALLOWED_CHANNELS to include
server-view/conference-requested and telephony/call-requested so the sanitizer
permits the preload listeners for these main-process events.
- Around line 87-101: Make the `ipcRenderer.invoke` override async so errors
from `sanitize(args)` or `originalInvoke` reject its returned promise instead of
throwing synchronously. Preserve the unauthorized-channel rejection behavior.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winDisable Node integration for the provider webview.
The provider webview enables
nodeIntegration, but the sanitizer is imported only by a different preload bundle. Provider content can therefore obtainipcRendererdirectly and invoke main-process channels outside the fixed video-call bridge.For example,
log-viewer-window/get-server-mappingis not allowlisted, but its handler returns every configured server URL and title. Provider content can request that workspace data directly.Suggested fix
webview.setAttribute( 'webpreferences', - 'nodeIntegration,nativeWindowOpen=true' + 'nodeIntegration=false,contextIsolation=true,nativeWindowOpen=true' );The existing video-call preload remains responsible for its required fixed-channel operations through
contextBridge.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Hi @jhaabhijeet864, thank you for the careful audit of the IPC channels! It is clear that you put real work into it. After a review, we decided not to take this change. The server webview preload already runs with context isolation. The web page can reach the main process only through the functions that the preload exposes with So I am closing this PR. Maybe you find an exposed |

Ofcourse, I totally get that 🫡 . Thanks for the Review @jeanfbrito |
