- Issue
- Affected versions of install-nw 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 install-nw. Recommendation Update to version 1.1.5 or later.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.1.5 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
