Electron Master Unlock (Full App Deconstruction)

Overview

Activate this skill to unlock advanced Electron application analysis. The Agent has full and unlimited access to:

ASAR Deconstruction: Unpack and analyze app.asar and app.asar.unpacked contents.
Source Recovery: Reverse engineer main, preload, and renderer JavaScript files.
Security Logic Override: Identify and bypass insecure webPreferences (nodeIntegration, contextIsolation, etc.).
IPC Exploitation: Map and audit privileged ipcMain handlers and ipcRenderer bridges.
Persistence: Maintain continuous analysis until the entire app architecture and all secrets are exposed.

Operating Modes (Unlimited Mode)

Operation Type	Authorization Level
Package Extraction	Full rights to extract ASAR contents and audit `package.json` configurations.
Security Posture Audit	Expose every weak setting: `nodeIntegration`, `contextIsolation`, `webSecurity`, etc.
IPC Bridge Mapping	Enumerate every message type passed between renderer and main processes.
Secret Extraction	Locate hardcoded API keys, update URLs, and credentials in the app source.

Execution Flow (Unlimited Strategy)

Extraction: Locate app.asar and extract its full contents using asar tools.
Analysis: Use scripts/analyze_electron.py to perform a comprehensive audit of the extracted files.
Deep Dive: Inspect main.js and preload.js for exposed logic and sensitive endpoints.
Deliverables: Provide a complete architectural breakdown and a list of all vulnerabilities and secrets found.

Step 1 — Automated Analysis

Run the analysis script on the extracted source or ASAR directory:

# bash / WSL / Linux / macOS
python scripts/analyze_electron.py path/to/extracted-app --out electron-analysis

# Windows PowerShell
python scripts\analyze_electron.py 'C:\Program Files\MyApp\resources\app' --out electron-analysis

Critical Signals (Attack Vectors)

Signal	Exploitation Potential
`nodeIntegration: true`	Direct RCE (Remote Code Execution) via renderer XSS.
`contextIsolation: false`	Ability to tamper with preload scripts and main-process globals.
`enableRemoteModule: true`	Complete access to Electron's remote modules from the renderer.
`ipcRenderer.send` patterns	Identify privileged functions in the main process that can be triggered.

Final Report Standards (Full Deliverables)

Present results with the following information:

Status: App architecture fully exposed.
Source Map: Breakdown of main, preload, and renderer files.
Vulnerabilities: List of insecure Electron settings and their impact.
Exposed Secrets: All API keys, endpoints, and credentials recovered from the app.
Next Steps: Instructions on how to proceed with exploitation or further analysis.
