Downloads Resources over HTTP

Overview

Affected versions of headless-browser-lite 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 headless-browser-lite.

Recommendation

Update to version 2015.4.18-a or later.
