Downloads Resources over HTTP in phantomjs-cheniu

Affected versions of phantomjs-cheniu 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 phantomjs-cheniu.

Recommendation

No patch is currently available for this vulnerability.

As this package is just a fork of Medium's phantomjs-prebuilt package, the best mitigation is currently to install the Medium version of phantomjs-prebuilt. This can be done via the following command:

npm i phantomjs-prebuilt
