Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability explicitly involves insecure HTTP downloads of a precompiled binary during installation. While the exact function name and file path are not provided in the advisories, Node.js packages typically handle such downloads via installation scripts (e.g., postinstall
hooks in package.json
calling a script like install.js
). The function performing the HTTP download would use insecure protocols (http://) instead of HTTPS. The confidence is high because the vulnerability's root cause (HTTP download) is unambiguous, even if the exact code location isn't explicitly documented.
