Affected packages

• npm mongodb-instance: < 0.0.3 → fixed in 0.0.3

Description

Affected versions of `mongodb-instance` 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 `mongodb-instance`. Recommendation Update to version 0.0.3 or later.
