| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
windows-seleniumjar (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 the affected software.
Recommendations
To mitigate the issue, consider avoiding the use of the windows-seleniumjar 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 is installed on a private network, minimize the risk by restricting access to the network and ensuring that only trusted individuals have privileged access.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
