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

Description

The code is making HTTP requests using 'http://' instead of 'https://'. This means data sent and received is not encrypted, exposing it to anyone monitoring the network.

Impact

If an attacker intercepts this unencrypted traffic, they could steal sensitive information like login credentials or personal data, or tamper with the communication. This puts users and the application's security at significant risk.
