Weakness
CWE-598: Use of HTTP Request With Sensitive Query String
The web application uses an HTTP method to process a request, but the request includes sensitive information in the query string.
How to prevent it
- Implementation: When sending sensitive information, only include it in the request body or request headers instead of the query string. This may require avoiding use of GET requests.
