Downloads Resources over HTTP

Overview

Affected versions of selenium-binaries 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

No fix is currently available for this vulnerability.

The best mitigation currently available is to use an alternate package, such as selenium-webdriver, the official selenium bindings for node.js.
