Affected Version Ranges

All affected versions

1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.1.0, 1.1.0-rc1, 1.1.0-rc2, 1.1.0-rc3, 1.1.0-rc4, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4

All unaffected versions

1.1.5

Affected versions of install-nw 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 install-nw.

Recommendation

Update to version 1.1.5 or later.
