CVE-2016-10621 v8: fibjs runtime downloads binary resources over HTTP
Last modified: 2018-06-29 18:39:36 EDT
fibjs is a runtime for javascript applictions built on google v8 JS. fibjs 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.
