Affected packages
• npm selenium-binaries: < 0.15.0 → fixed in 0.15.0
Description
Versions of `selenium-binaries` prior to 0.15.0 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
A fix for this vulnerability is available on the `master` branch of the repository as part of version 0.15.0.
Another mitigation currently available is to use an alternate package, such as selenium-webdriver, the official selenium bindings for node.js.
