CVE-2016-10589
selenium-binaries downloads resources over HTTP
Description
Versions of `selenium-binaries` prior to 0.15.0 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 `selenium-binaries`. ## Recommendation A fix for this vulnerability is available on the `master` branch of the repository as part of version 0.15.0. Another mitigation currently available is to use an alternate package, such as [selenium-webdriver](https://www.npmjs.com/package/selenium-webdriver), the official selenium bindings for node.js.
