- GHSA-q8xg-8xwf-m598Machine-In-The-Middle in lix2020-04-16ghsa · osvUS
All versions of `lix` are vulnerable to Machine-In-The-Middle. The package accepts downloads with `http` and follows `location` header redirects for package downloads. This allows for an attacker in a privileged network position to intercept a lix package installation and redirect the download to a malicious source. ## Recommendation No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.
