Description Pedro Sampaio 2018-06-07 10:23:46 EDT

selenium-chromedriver is a simple utility for downloading the Selenium Webdriver for Google Chrome selenium-chromedriver downloads binary resources over HTTP, which leaves it vulnerable to MITM attacks. It may be possible to cause remote code execution (RCE) by swapping out the requested binary with an attacker controlled binary if the attacker is on the network or positioned in between the user and the remote server.

Comment 1 Hooman Broujerdi 2018-06-10 18:01:28 EDT

This is a javascript selenium-chromedriver as in used in the browsers and it is also deprecated: https://www.npmjs.com/package/selenium-chromedriver
the selenium-chromedriver that is shipped in fis is a java-based package that is being used in fabric8, hence fis is not affected.
