FKIE_CVE-2016-10530

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2018-05-31 20:29 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:39
Severity
5.9 (Medium) - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Summary
The airbrake module 0.3.8 and earlier defaults to sending environment variables over HTTP. Environment variables can often times contain secret keys and other sensitive values. A malicious user could be on the same network as a regular user and intercept all the secret keys the user is sending. This goes against common best practice, which is to use HTTPS.
