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

Description

The code is using OpenerDirector.open() to access URLs over 'http://' instead of 'https://'. This means data sent and received is not encrypted and can be intercepted by attackers.

Impact

Transmitting information over an unencrypted channel exposes sensitive data (like credentials or personal info) to interception or tampering by attackers. This can lead to data breaches, account compromise, and undermines user trust in the application.
