Affected packages
• npm webrtc-native: <= 1.4.0 (no fix yet)
Description
Affected versions of `webrtc-native` 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 `webrtc-native`.
Recommendation
No direct patch is currently available for this vulnerability.
However, if the native components of `webrtc-native` are built from source, this avoids download the precompiled binary, therefore mitigating the insecure download.
The package author has provided instructions for building from source here.
