Vulnerability

Description

A vulnerability arises when an HTTPS page hosts an insecure HTTP form, allowing sensitive data transmission over unsecured channels. This can deceive users into believing their data is being submitted securely when, in reality, it’s not.

Recommendation

To protect user data, ensure all forms are hosted on HTTPS pages and that sensitive information is only transmitted securely.
