Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions selenium-chromedriver versions (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue arises from selenium-chromedriver downloading 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 the download and replaces the binary with a malicious one. The vulnerability can be exploited when an attacker has a privileged network position, allowing them to intercept and alter the response, resulting in code execution on the system running selenium-chromedriver.

Recommendations For all affected versions, consider avoiding the use of this package and opt for a different package if available. As a mitigation measure, reduce the risk of exploitation by avoiding the installation of this package while connected to a public network. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
