CVE-2016-10648

22
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-10648 affects the marionette-socket-host project, a component used for sending actions over a socket. The vulnerability stems from its practice of downloading binary resources over unencrypted HTTP, making it susceptible to Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks. This high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.1) could enable remote code execution (RCE) if an attacker intercepts and replaces legitimate binaries with malicious ones. Despite its critical potential, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
