An issue was discovered in Rhinode Trading Paints through 2.0.36. TP Updater.exe uses cleartext HTTP to check, and request, updates. Thus, attackers can man-in-the-middle a victim to download a malicious binary in place of the real update, with no SSL errors or warnings.

Weakness

The product transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors.
