{"id":"GHSA-2hpj-g53m-9gj6","summary":"closure-util downloads Resources over HTTP","details":"Affected versions of `closure-util` insecurely download an executable over an unencrypted HTTP connection. \n\nIn 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 `closure-util`.\n\n\n## Recommendation\n\nTo mitigate this issue:\n1. Install the package using npm's `--ignore-scripts` flag.\n2. Navigate to the package directory, and open `default-config.json` in a text editor\n3. Change the download URLs in the `compiler_url` and `library_url` to `https` equivalents\n4. run `npm i` in the package directory.","aliases":["CVE-2016-10583"],"modified":"2023-11-08T03:58:14.038941Z","published":"2019-02-18T23:58:03Z","database_specific":{"nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-311"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2020-06-16T20:52:08Z"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-10583"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-2hpj-g53m-9gj6"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/advisories/165"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"closure-util","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/closure-util"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"2.0.0-beta.1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2019/02/GHSA-2hpj-g53m-9gj6/GHSA-2hpj-g53m-9gj6.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
