CVE-2016-10697
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedreact-native-baidu-voice-synthesizer is a baidu voice speech synthesizer for react native. react-native-baidu-voice-synthesizer downloads 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 resources with an attacker controlled copy if the attacker is on the network or positioned in between the user and the remote server.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe react-native-baidu-voice-synthesizer library downloads voice synthesis resources over unencrypted HTTP connections, making it vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks. An attacker positioned on the network can intercept these downloads and replace the legitimate resources with malicious code, potentially achieving remote code execution on devices running the affected application.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if react-native-baidu-voice-synthesizer is in dependenciesInspect package.json file and look for react-native-baidu-voice-synthesizer in the dependencies or devDependencies sectionAffected if The library is listed as a dependency in package.json
-
Verify the installed version of the libraryRun 'npm list react-native-baidu-voice-synthesizer' or check the package-lock.json file for the installed versionAffected if The installed version is 1.0.0
-
Search for HTTP URLs in the library source codeLocate the node_modules/react-native-baidu-voice-synthesizer directory and grep for 'http://' URLs, particularly in files related to downloading or fetching voice resourcesAffected if HTTP URLs (not HTTPS) are found pointing to voice synthesis resource endpoints
-
Check if the voice synthesis download feature is used in the applicationSearch project source files for imports and usage of the react-native-baidu-voice-synthesizer module (e.g., 'require("react-native-baidu-voice-synthesizer")' or 'import BaiduVoice')Affected if The library is imported and its download/synthesize functions are called in application code
-
Inspect network traffic configuration for voice downloadsReview any configuration files or code that specifies the voice synthesis API endpoint URL, looking for non-HTTPS schemesAffected if The voice synthesis endpoint is configured with an http:// URL rather than https://
A user is affected if react-native-baidu-voice-synthesizer version 1.0.0 is installed AND the library is actively used to download voice synthesis resources over HTTP connections.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataReplace all HTTP URLs used for downloading resources with HTTPS equivalents, ensuring all network communications are encrypted and server identity is verified to prevent injection attacks.
