📊 Metadata *
Bounty URL: https://www.huntr.dev/bounties/1-npm-node-sfml
⚙️ Description *
The URL to import packages from was hardcoded to use the
httpversion of the domains:kcat.strangesoft.netwww.mega-nerd.comsfml.svn.sourceforge.net💻 Technical Description *
The fix just simply changes the
httpversion tohttpsto mitigate MITM attacks.🐛 Proof of Concept (PoC) *
sfmlis Node v8 Bindings for SFML, this package are vulnerable to Man in the Middle (MitM) attacks due to downloading resources over an insecure protocol.Without a secure connection, it is possible for an attacker to intercept this connection and alter the packages received. In serious cases, this may even lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE) on your host server.

🔥 Proof of Fix (PoF) *
Changed all domains with SSL certificates to
httpsin theinstallfile.Although the domain
www.mega-nerd.comdoesn't have an SSL certificate making it not possible to use thehttpsversion of the domain.👍 User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
No breaking changes.
