Vulnerability details
dectalk-tts is a Node package to interact with the aeiou Dectalk web API. In `dectalk-tts@1.0.0`, network requests to the third-party API are sent over HTTP, which is unencrypted. Unencrypted traffic can be easily intercepted and modified by attackers. Anyone who…

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Directly prevents cleartext transmission of sensitive information by requiring encryption or equivalent confidentiality protections during transit.
Restrictions and channel controls reduce the chance that VoIP media or signaling streams remain accessible to non-participants.
Directly prevents non-endpoint access or interception of the session communication path.
An out-of-band channel is inaccessible to non-endpoints that can observe or interfere with the primary communication channel.
The control restricts an inherently broadcast wireless channel to only intended endpoints, mitigating accessibility by non-endpoints.
Confidentiality and integrity protections on the transmission channel directly reduce the ability of non-endpoint actors to access or tamper with the data.
Role-based training covers secure transmission methods, mitigating cleartext transmission of sensitive data.
By requiring documented security controls for information exchanges, the control reduces the risk of cleartext transmission of sensitive data.
