CWE CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
OWASP A02:2021 - Cryptographic Failures
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The code is using HTTP servers instead of HTTPS, which means data sent between clients and the server is not encrypted. This exposes sensitive information to anyone who can intercept the network traffic.

Impact

An attacker could eavesdrop on or tamper with data transmitted between users and your application, potentially stealing credentials, session tokens, or personal data. This can lead to user account compromise, data breaches, and loss of trust in your service.
