Home » Vulnerabilities Knowledge Base » Prevent Unencrypted Transmission Of Sensitive User Data
This is one of the critical vulnerabilities that can expose users to data breaches and fraud is the sending of sensitive information, such as credit card details, passwords or personal identification to a payment gateway in an unencrypted format i.e., in plain text.
Transmitting sensitive data in plain text allows attackers to intercept and read it easily through network sniffing or man-in-the-middle attacks. To prevent this, all sensitive communications should be encrypted using HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configurations, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity during transmission.
