Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions box2d-native (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 issue, consider avoiding the use of this package and opt for a different package if available. As a temporary measure, reduce the risk of exploitation by ensuring the package is not installed while connected to a public network. If the package is installed on a private network, minimize the risk by restricting access to the network and ensuring that only trusted individuals have privileged access. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
