windows-build-tools downloads Resources over HTTP

Affected versions of windows-build-tools insecurely download an executable over an unencrypted HTTP connection.

In scenarios where an attacker has a privileged network position, it is possible to intercept the response and replace the executable with a malicious one, resulting in code execution on the system running windows-build-tools.

Recommendation

Update to version 1.0.0 or later.
