High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
openframe-glsviewer 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 result in code execution on the system running the affected software.
Recommendations
To mitigate the risk, avoid using the openframe-glsviewer package if possible, and consider using a different package instead.
Alternatively, reduce the risk of exploitation by not installing the package while connected to a public network, as the vulnerability can only be exploited by those with compromised network access or privileged ISP access.
Fix
Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data
Improper Privilege Management
