Affected packages

• npm healthcenter: <= 3.0.3 (no fix yet)

Description

Affected versions of `healthcenter` 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 `healthcenter`. Recommendation This package has been deprecated, and moved to a new package on npm: `appmetrics`. In order to mitigate this vulnerability, please install the `appmetrics` package in place of `healthcenter` via the following commands: ``` npm uninstall healthcenter -s npm install appmetrics -s ```
