CVE-2016-10585
Downloads Resources over HTTP in libxl
Description
Affected versions of `libxl` insecurely download an executable over an unencrypted HTTP connection. In scenarios where an attacker has a privileged network position, it is possible to intercept the response and replace the executable with a malicious one, resulting in code execution on the system running `libxl`. ## Recommendation The module author recommends installing the bindings using a pinned and verified version of SDK instead of the automated download. More information is available in the modules [README](https://www.npmjs.com/package/libxl).
