GHSA-Q8XG-8XWF-M598

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2020-04-16 03:14 – Updated: 2021-09-16 20:39

Summary

Machine-In-The-Middle in lix

Details

All versions of lix are vulnerable to Machine-In-The-Middle. The package accepts downloads with http and follows location header redirects for package downloads. This allows for an attacker in a privileged network position to intercept a lix package installation and redirect the download to a malicious source.

Recommendation

No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.

Severity

8.1 (High)
