OWASP A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level High
Impact Level Low
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The code includes links that use the unsecured HTTP protocol instead of HTTPS. This means any data sent or received through these links can be intercepted or tampered with by attackers.

Impact

If users follow HTTP links, sensitive information like login credentials or personal details could be exposed to eavesdroppers on the network. Attackers might intercept or alter the content, leading to data theft, account compromise, or malicious redirection.
