Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions webdriver-launcher 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 in scenarios where the attacker has a privileged network position.

Recommendations To mitigate this issue, consider avoiding the use of webdriver-launcher, opting for a different package if available. As a temporary measure, reduce the risk of exploitation by avoiding the 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.
