On macOS, app.moveToApplicationsFolder() used an AppleScript fallback path that did not properly handle certain characters in the application bundle path. Under specific conditions, a crafted launch path could lead to arbitrary AppleScript execution when the user accepted the move-to-Applications prompt.
Apps are only affected if they call app.moveToApplicationsFolder(). Apps that do not use this API are not affected.
There are no app side workarounds, developers must update to a patched version of Electron.
