Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions fibjs versions (affected versions not specified)
Description The issue concerns the insecure download of binary resources over HTTP, making it susceptible to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. This could potentially lead to remote code execution (RCE) if an attacker intercepts and replaces the requested binary with a malicious one, particularly if the attacker has a privileged network position.
Recommendations For all affected versions, consider avoiding the use of this package until a secure version is available. As a mitigation measure, reduce the risk of exploitation by avoiding installation of this package while connected to a public network. If the package is installed on a private network, ensure that network security is maintained to prevent unauthorized access. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
