The Inetc plugin for Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS), as used in CERT/CC Failure Observation Engine (FOE) and other products, does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and possibly execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted certificate in a download session for Windows executable files.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a trust failure in the NSIS Inetc download plugin. If software uses it to fetch Windows executables over SSL, an attacker positioned between the user and server could impersonate the server and potentially cause malicious code to run. Exposure is likely limited to products or installers that used the NSIS Inetc plugin for SSL downloads, including CERT/CC FOE as cited. The source bundle does not enumerate other affected products or versions. Treat as high priority where legacy Windows installers or software distribution workflows use NSIS Inetc. Business urgency depends on whether the organization ships, hosts, or runs affected installers. Mitigation focus: Inventory installers and products that use the NSIS Inetc plugin.; Check CERT/CC and vendor guidance for affected dependent products.; Avoid using vulnerable download components for executable retrieval..
