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
```
