GitHub Security Advisory

Downloads Resources over HTTP in webrtc-native

✓ GitHub Reviewed HIGH Has CVE

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).
