Description

Affected versions of `adamvr-geoip-lite` insecurely download resources over HTTP. In scenarios where an attacker has a privileged network position, they can modify or read such resources at will. This could impact the integrity and availability of the data being used to make geolocation decisions by an application. Recommendation No patch is currently available for this vulnerability.
