CVE-2016-10605

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions dalek-browser-ie (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue allows for a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack due to the insecure download of binary resources over HTTP. This could potentially lead to remote code execution (RCE) if an attacker intercepts the request and swaps the binary with a malicious one. The attack is feasible if the attacker has a privileged network position.

Recommendations For all affected versions, consider avoiding the use of this package and opt for a different package if available. As a mitigation measure, reduce the risk of exploitation by avoiding the installation of this package while connected to a public network. If the package is installed on a private network, minimize the risk by ensuring the network is secure, as only those with compromised network access or privileged ISP access can exploit this vulnerability. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
