CVE-2016-10684
Downloads Resources over HTTP in healthcenter
healthcenter - IBM Monitoring and Diagnostic Tools health Center agent healthcenter 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 resources with an attacker controlled copy if the attacker is on the network or positioned in between the user and the remote server.

GitHub AdvisoriesGHSA-j336-34q7-cgj3 No score
Downloads Resources over HTTP in healthcenter
Affected versions of healthcenter 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 healthcenter.
Recommendation
This package has been deprecated, and moved to a new package on npm: appmetrics.
In order to mitigate this vulnerability, please install the appmetrics package in place of healthcenter via the following commands:
npm uninstall healthcenter -s
npm install appmetrics -s
