Summary

Downloads Resources over HTTP in webrtc-native

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.
