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 using urllib3's HTTPConnectionPool, which sends data over an unencrypted HTTP connection. This exposes any transmitted information to potential eavesdropping or interception.

Impact

Sensitive data such as credentials or personal information could be intercepted by attackers on the network, leading to data breaches, account compromise, or loss of user trust. Using unencrypted HTTP makes it easy for attackers to view or manipulate traffic between the application and remote servers.
