Credential disclosure via URL query parameters
Published Dec 2, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Information exposure in Mahavitaran for Android 7.50 and earlier allows attackers to read login credentials from request URLs. The application's login flow inserts the username and password into URL query parameters instead of keeping them out of the request URL. Exposure requires access to those URLs through intercepted traffic, server logs, referrer data, or browser history; the documented consequence is credential disclosure.
