Description The issue allows for man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks due to the insecure download of resources over HTTP.

The impact of this issue can range from reading sensitive information to remote code execution, depending on the package's behavior.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
