CWE	CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
OWASP	A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level	Medium
Impact Level	Medium
Likelihood Level	Medium

Description

The code is making HTTP requests to external sites using popular Node.js libraries (like axios, got, or node-rest-client) without encryption. Sending data over plain HTTP means sensitive information can be easily intercepted by attackers.

Impact

If exploited, attackers can eavesdrop on unencrypted network traffic, stealing credentials, session tokens, or other sensitive data. This can lead to account compromise, data breaches, and loss of user trust in your application.
