Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability explicitly involves insecure HTTP downloads during the package's installation process. The recommendation to avoid automated downloads strongly implies that the installation script contains a function (e.g., in scripts/install.js) that fetches the SDK via HTTP. While the exact function name/path isn't provided in public advisories, the nature of the vulnerability (CWE-311) and npm package conventions make this the most logical and high-confidence conclusion.
