Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from insecure HTTP downloads of executables in wixtoolset, but the provided information contains no actual code examples, commit diffs, or specific file paths. The advisory and CVE description only reference the package-level behavior without identifying concrete functions. While the vulnerability clearly exists at the network transport layer (HTTP vs HTTPS), there's insufficient technical detail to confidently map this to specific function implementations within the package. The lack of source code references, patch information, and detailed vulnerability documentation makes it impossible to identify vulnerable functions with high confidence.
