Affected packages

• npm closurecompiler: <= 1.6.1 (no fix yet)

Description

Affected versions of `closurecompiler` 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 `closurecompiler`. Recommendation Update to version 1.6.1 or later.
