Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions soci (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue allows for man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks due to the software downloading binary resources over HTTP. This could potentially lead to remote code execution (RCE) if an attacker intercepts the request and swaps the resources with a malicious version. 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 until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, reduce the risk of exploitation by avoiding installation of the package while connected to a public network. Restrict installation of the package to private networks to minimize the risk of exploitation by unauthorized parties.
