CVE-2016-10688

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions haxe3 (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue allows for man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks due to the use of HTTP for downloading resources. This could potentially lead to remote code execution (RCE) if an attacker intercepts and alters the requested resources. In scenarios where an attacker has a privileged network position, it is possible to intercept the response and replace the executable with a malicious one, resulting in code execution on the system running haxe3.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a mitigation measure, consider avoiding the use of this package and opt for a different package if available. Alternatively, reduce the risk of exploitation by avoiding installation of this package while connected to a public network, and only install it on a private network to minimize exposure.
