Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions scalajs-standalone-bin (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue arises from the software 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 request and replaces the binary with a malicious one. The attacker would need to be on the network or positioned between the user and the remote server to exploit this.

Recommendations For all affected versions, consider avoiding the use of this package and opt for a different package if available. As a temporary mitigation measure, reduce the risk of exploitation by ensuring the package is not installed while connected to a public network. Restrict installation of the package to private networks to minimize the risk of exploitation by unauthorized parties.
