Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.10%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
cmake installs the cmake x86 linux binaries. cmake downloads binary resources over HTTP, which leaves it vulnerable to MITM attacks. It may be possible to cause remote code execution (RCE) by swapping out the requested binary with an attacker controlled binary if the attacker is on the network or positioned in between the user and the remote server.
