CVE-2016-10562 affects iedriver, an NPM wrapper for Selenium IEDriver, specifically versions below 3.0.0. The vulnerability stems from the module downloading binary resources over unencrypted HTTP, making it susceptible to Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks. This high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.1) could lead to remote code execution (RCE) if an attacker intercepts the download and replaces the legitimate binary with a malicious one. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
