+### 20. Do not expose Electron APIs to untrusted web content
+
+You should not directly expose Electron's APIs, especially IPC, to untrusted web content in your
+preload scripts.
+
+### Why?
+
+Exposing raw APIs like `ipcRenderer.on` is dangerous because it gives renderer processes direct
+access to the entire IPC event system, allowing them to listen for any IPC events, not just the ones
+intended for them.
+
+To avoid that exposure, we also cannot pass callbacks directly through: The first
+argument to IPC event callbacks is an `IpcRendererEvent` object, which includes properties like `sender`
+that provide access to the underlying `ipcRenderer` instance. Even if you only listen for specific
+events, passing the callback directly means the renderer gets access to this event object.
+
+In short, we want the untrusted web content to only have access to necessary information and APIs.
+
+### How?
+
+```js title='preload'.js'
+// Bad
+contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('electronAPI', {
+  on: ipcRenderer.on
+})
+
+// Also bad
+contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('electronAPI', {
+  onUpdateCounter: (callback) => ipcRenderer.on('update-counter', callback)
+})
+
+// Good
+contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('electronAPI', {
+  onUpdateCounter: (callback) => ipcRenderer.on('update-counter', (_event, value) => callback(value))
+})
+```
