I would like to find out which version of Electron an Electron desktop app like Signal Desktop or Visual Studio Code is using. Is there a simple way - like entering a command in the Development Console?
Thanks! Johannes
(Why? I would like to see if it is affected by bugs like https://www.trustwave.com/Resources/SpiderLabs-Blog/CVE-2018-1000136---Electron-nodeIntegration-Bypass/)

If you see an app. asar file, or something similar with the . asar suffix, it is most likely an Electron App. Windows: Open up the program files directory of the application you are wondering about, and check the file folder for any file with .
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE Starts the process as a normal Node. js process. In this mode, you will be able to pass cli options to Node. js as you would when running the normal Node.
You can, if the App enabled developer tools and enabled nodeIntegration. take VS Code as an example:
open the Developer Tools, in the console tab, type
process.versions.electron
documentation here: https://electronjs.org/docs/api/process
or try parsing version from userAgent string
navigator.userAgent.match(/Electron\/([\d\.]+\d+)/)[1]
