CVE-2007-5034
ELinks before 0.11.3, when sending a POST request for an https URL, appends the body and content headers of the POST request to the CONNECT request in cleartext, which allows remote attackers to sniff sensitive data that would have been protected by TLS.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
