Severity low
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://', which means data sent and received is not encrypted. This exposes sensitive information, such as credentials or personal data, to interception over the network.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could intercept or modify unencrypted data in transit, leading to information theft, session hijacking, or manipulation of application behavior. This can compromise user privacy and the security of your application and its users.
