HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. As the name itself reveals, http is a protocol that is used by World Wide Web (www) to define how the message has to be transmitted, what has to be transmitted and what actions should be taken in response of the requests.
In short it is used for fetching of messages in the form of html pages/documents between the server and the client. These messages are called http request and http response.
This HTTP that acts as an underlying protocol for the WWW, contains 2 main parameters in the request and response message format: HEADER and BODY.
HTTP headers contain information about requests and responses, but they should never include sensitive data like authentication tokens or validation parameters. Storing such details in headers exposes them to brute-force or interception attacks.
Solution: Avoid placing sensitive parameters in headers. If necessary, encrypt them with strong algorithms to prevent guessing or decryption by attackers.
