What are query parameters?
If a URI has a variable and its corresponding value getting communicated in an HTTP request to the server, the developer has implemented query parameters for sending data to the server.
Query parameters can use either the GET HTTP method or the POST HTTP method (but mainly GET is used).
Example:
https://www.mysite.com/getsecret?username=cella&password=messi
If a man-in-the-middle attack is successful (intercepting the connection and presenting a forged server certificate which the browser accepts),
it could lead to attacks like:
Parameter values are also visible in the browser’s URL bar to other users.
In financial or banking web applications, transaction-id and amounts are often sent using query parameters.
Example::
https://www.mysite.com/getsecret?order-id=144121&amt=1400&acct=2188974568
