What is CVE-2016-10611?

CVE-2016-10611 is a high-severity security vulnerability in strider-sauce (npm), affecting versions <= 0.6.2. No fixed version is listed yet.

How severe is CVE-2016-10611?

CVE-2016-10611 has a CVSS score of 8.1 (High). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.

Which versions of strider-sauce are affected by CVE-2016-10611?

strider-sauce (npm) versions <= 0.6.2 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2016-10611?

No fixed version is listed for CVE-2016-10611 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.

Is CVE-2016-10611 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2016-10611 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether CVE-2016-10611 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

Summary

Downloads Resources over HTTP in strider-sauce

Affected versions of strider-sauce 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 strider-sauce.

Impact

CVE-2016-10611 has a CVSS score of 8.1 (High). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. No fixed version is listed yet, so configuration controls and monitoring matter more in the interim.

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Remediation advice

While the package author has created a patch for this vulnerability, they have not yet published it to npm or bumped the version number.

In order to resolve the vulnerability, you will need to install the module manually from github:

npm install github:Strider-CD/strider-sauce#5ff6d65

As this vulnerability does not have a version bump included with the patch, it is possible that you have received a report for a vulnerable package, yet have installed the patched version and are no longer vulnerable. If that is the case, this advisory can be disregarded.
