Downloads Resources over HTTP in bkjs-wand

Affected versions of bkjs-wand 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 bkjs-wand.

Recommendation

Update to version 0.3.2 or later.
