Browser-laptop: New electron vulnerability. Is brave affected ? CVE-2018-1000136
I've just came across this CVE-2018-1000136 on site below.
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/security-flaw-impacts-electron-based-apps-such-as-skype-github-discord-others/
Since brave is based on electron, is it affected by this bug ?

We knew about this before public disclosure and can confirm we were not affected. We use Chromium's implementation of window.open, not Electron's. Thanks for asking!
