Update the Elektron of the App

C Craft

The Elektron of Discord (a Elektron is a Chrome Browser developed for Apps) is 13.6.6. The Newest Version is 19.0.0. So the Elektron of The App is old. But what is the Problem with that?

1. Since the Version of 13.6.6 many security vulnerabilities have been fixed for example: (just Version 14.2.0 , Source: website of elektronJs release page 17 (links have to be prooven by Discord an that takes ages xD), access date = 9.Jun 14:38 CET)

  • Security: backported fix for CVE-2021-37976.
  • Security: backported fix for CVE-2021-37978.
  • Security: backported fix for CVE-2021-37979.
  • Security: backported fix for CVE-2021-37980.

14.2.6:

  • Security: backported fix for chromium:1274445,v8:7990.
  • Security: backported fix for chromium:1284367.

14.2.7

  • Security: backported fix for 1252562, 1179098.
  • Security: backported fix for 1291728.
  • Security: backported fix for 1295786.
  • Security: backported fix for CVE-2022-0607.
  • Security: backported fix for CVE-2022-0608.
  • Security: backported fix for chromium:1274113.
  • Security: backported fix for chromium:1277917.
  • Security: backported fix for chromium:1281908.
  • Security: backported fix for chromium:1282354.
  • Security: backported fix for chromium:1283198.
  • Security: backported fix for chromium:1283371.
  • Security: backported fix for chromium:1283375.
  • Security: backported fix for chromium:1289383.
  • Security: backported fix for chromium:1289384.
  • Security: backported fix for chromium:1289394.
  • Security: backported fixes to chromium:1292537 and CVE-2022-0606.

And so on we are only at Version 14.2.7 it goes to 19.0.0 xD who wants to read the Full list of Security Fixes can have a look at this page:

2. The Wayland Interface is supported at Version 13.6.9 (Fixed to ensure that chromium binds to wayland interface versions it supports) -> at all users with Wayland the Discord App is not fully working correktly.

3. Also Pipewire is still not supportet - so some Users can`t share Screen and Audio not because they have too old Software - the Software is to new for Discord xD no thats not a bad Joke xD

Conclusion: Please update the Discord Elektron to Version 19.0.0. Thats way better for Security and Support of Software.
