Advisories for Npm/Chromedriver package

Versions of the package chromedriver before 119.0.1 is vulnerable to Command Injection when setting the chromedriver.path to an arbitrary system binary. This could lead to unauthorized access and potentially malicious actions on the host system. Note: An attacker must have access to the system running the vulnerable chromedriver library to exploit it. The success of exploitation also depends on the permissions and privileges of the process running chromedriver.

Affected versions of chromedriver insecurely download resources over HTTP. In scenarios where an attacker has a privileged network position, they can modify or read such resources at will. This may result in arbitrary code execution if an attacker intercepts and modifies the downloaded binary file, replacing it with a malicious one.

Chromedriver downloads binary 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 binary with an attacker controlled binary if the attacker is on the network or positioned in between the user and the remote server.
