Structure Simple

Status Draft

Number of CVEs 27

The web application uses the HTTP GET method to process a request and includes sensitive information in the query string of that request.

The query string for the URL could be saved in the browser's history, passed through Referers to other web sites, stored in web logs, or otherwise recorded in other sources. If the query string contains sensitive information such as session identifiers, then attackers can use this information to launch further attacks.
