CVE-2016-10608

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions robot-js versions (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue allows for potential remote code execution (RCE) due to the insecure download of binary resources over HTTP, making it susceptible to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. If an attacker is on the network or positioned between the user and the remote server, they may swap the requested binary with an attacker-controlled binary. This could lead to code execution on the system running the affected software.

Recommendations To mitigate the risk, avoid using this package if possible, and consider using a different package instead. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the installation of this package while connected to a public network, and only install it on a private network to reduce the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
