Vulnerability from github – Published: 2018-07-24 15:40 – Updated: 2023-09-06 20:06Affected versions of hubl-server insecurely download dependencies over an unencrypted HTTP connection.
In scenarios where an attacker has a privileged network position, it is possible to intercept the responses and replace the dependencies with malicious ones, resulting in code execution on the system running hubl-server.
Recommendation
No patch is currently available for this vulnerability, and it has not seen any updates since 2015.
The best mitigation is currently to avoid using this package, using a different package if available.
Alternatively, the risk of exploitation can be reduced by ensuring that this package is not installed while connected to a public network. If the package is installed on a private network, the only people who can exploit this vulnerability are those who have compromised yo
