Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions xd-testing 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 when the attacker has a privileged network position.

Recommendations To mitigate the issue, consider avoiding the use of this package until a patch is available. As an alternative, reduce the risk of exploitation by ensuring the package is not installed while connected to a public network. If the package must be installed, minimize the risk by doing so on a private network, acknowledging that only those with compromised network access or privileged ISP access could exploit the vulnerability.
