Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions qbs 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 resources with a malicious copy. The vulnerability can be exploited when an attacker has a privileged network position, allowing them to intercept the response and replace the executable with a malicious one, resulting in code execution on the system running qbs.

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 ensuring that this 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. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
