Found it:

new BrowserWindow({webPreferences: {webSecurity: false}});

In electron's Documentation for BrowserWindow you can use the object 'webPreferences' that comes along with a couple options, 'webSecurity' being one of them. What worked for me to disable web security was the following:

const win = new BrowserWindow({
  webPreferences: { webSecurity: false }
});

  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({

    'web-preferences': {'web-security': false},
    width: 1800,
    height: 1600,

});

web preferences part fixed the issue for me.if it didn't work try

app.commandLine.appendSwitch('disable-web-security');

mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    'node-integration': 'iframe',
    'web-preferences': {'web-security': false},
    width: 1800,
    height: 1600,
});

  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    height: 563,
    useContentSize: true,
    width: 1000,
    webPreferences: { webSecurity: false }
  })

import { app, BrowserWindow } from 'electron'

  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    height: 563,
    useContentSize: true,
    width: 1000,
    webPreferences: { webSecurity: false }
  })

This is the solution, and it works for me.
