Electronegativity is a tool to identify misconfigurations and security anti-patterns in Electron-based applications.
Software developers and security auditors can use this tool to detect and mitigate potential weaknesses and implementation bugs when developing applications using Electron.
A good understanding of Electron (in)security is still required when using it, as some of the potential issues detected by the tool require manual investigation.

Installation
Major releases are pushed to NPM and can be simply installed using:
$ npm install @doyensec/electronegativity -g
Usage
$ electronegativity -h
Option | Description |
---|---|
-V | output the version number |
-i, –input | input (directory, .js, .html, .asar) |
-o, –output | save the results to a file in csv or sarif format |
-c, –checks | only run the specified checks, passed in csv format |
-h, –help | output usage information |
Using it to look for issues in a directory containing an Electron app:
$ electronegativity -i /path/to/electron/app
Using the tool to look for issues in an asar archive and saving the results in a csv file:
$ electronegativity -i /path/to/asar/archive -o result.csv
Note: If you’re running into the Fatal Error “JavaScript heap out of memory”, you can run node using node –max-old-space-size=4096 electronegativity -i /path/to/asar/archive -o result.csv
