CVE-2016-10591

Prince is a Node API for executing XML/HTML to PDF renderer PrinceXML via prince(1) CLI. prince downloads zipped 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 tarball with an attacker controlled tarball if the attacker is on the network or positioned in between the user and the remote server.

It may be possible to cause remote code execution (RCE) by swapping out the requested tarball with an attacker controlled tarball if the attacker is on the network or positioned in between the user and the remote server.

Affected versions of `prince` 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 `prince`. ## Recommendation Update to version 1.4.6 or later.

Prince es una API de Node API para ejecutar XML/HTML en el renderizador PDF PrinceXML mediante la interfaz de línea de comandos prince(1). Prince descarga recursos comprimidos por HTTP, lo que lo deja vulnerable a ataques MITM. Podría ser posible provocar la ejecución remota de código (RCE) cambiando el tarball solicitado por otro controlado por el atacante si éste está en la red o posicionado entre el usuario y el servidor remoto.
