Recommendation
Set the version numbers in your administrator file and make use of the lock file where the complete software tree used by the project is defined and where it has integrity data defined for each software used.
Threat
Anonymous attacker from Internet with write access to the provider releases.
Expected Remediation Time
⌚ 15 minutes.
