Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation in transmission of telemetry data. An attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle attack to intercept or modify data in transit. Additionally, they can exhaust system memory by returning oversized responses from a malicious telemetry server.

Note: This is only exploitable if the 'Report anonymous cluster data' option is enabled.
