Downloads Resources over HTTP in webrtc-native

GHSA-7xvg-m3vx-2hhv

Advisory Details

Affected versions of `webrtc-native` 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 `webrtc-native`. ## Recommendation No direct patch is currently available for this vulnerability. However, if the native components of `webrtc-native` are built from source, this avoids download the precompiled binary, therefore mitigating the insecure download. The package author has provided instructions for building from source [here](https://github.com/vmolsa/webrtc-native/wiki/Getting-started#building-from-source).
