Downloads Resources over HTTP in embedza
Affected versions of `embedza` 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 `embedza`.
## Recommendation
Update to version 1.2.4 or later.
gitlab/npm/embedza/CVE-2016-10569
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
embedza is a module to create HTML snippets/embeds from URLs using info from oEmbed, Open Graph, meta tags. embedza versions below 1.2.4 download JavaScript resources over HTTP, which leaves it vulnerable to MITM attacks. It may be possible to cause remote code execution (RCE) by swapping out the requested JavaScript file with an attacker controlled JavaScript file if the attacker is on the network or positioned in between the user and the remote server.
