CVE-2016-10530
A malicious user could be on the same network as a regular user and intercept all the secret keys the user is sending.
MEDIUM 5.9EPSS 1.30%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.30%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
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.
