no-electron-enable-remote-module

Disallow enabling Electron webPreferences.enableRemoteModule.

Targeted pattern scope

This rule targets Electron BrowserWindow and BrowserView constructor options that set webPreferences.enableRemoteModule to true.

What this rule reports

This rule reports webPreferences.enableRemoteModule: true in Electron renderer configuration objects.

Why this rule exists

Enabling the remote module expands renderer access to privileged main-process capabilities and weakens isolation boundaries.

❌ Incorrect

new BrowserWindow({
 webPreferences: {
  enableRemoteModule: true,
 },
});

✅ Correct

new BrowserWindow({
 webPreferences: {
  enableRemoteModule: false,
 },
});
