Overview

The application sends the password as a part of HTTP redirect. This way of valuable data transfer may lead to its confidentiality loss.

As a result of HTTP redirect the user’s browser generates a GET request. GET request parameters are not considered confidential, so the password transferred via redirection may be displayed on the screen, recorded in the log, and stored in the browser or proxy server cache.
