Summary: Downloads Resources over HTTP in phantomjs-cheniu

Details: Affected versions of `phantomjs-cheniu` 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 `phantomjs-cheniu`. ## Recommendation No patch is currently available for this vulnerability. As this package is just a fork of Medium's [`phantomjs-prebuilt`](https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs) package, the best mitigation is currently to install the `Medium` version of [`phantomjs-prebuilt`](https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs). This can be done via the following command: ``` npm i phantomjs-prebuilt ```
