Detected presence of plaintext credentials within network protocol strings.
Causes risk: web service credentials found
secrets
Problem
Various network communication protocols allow including plaintext authentication credentials. Information such as user names and passwords could be passed through a non-encrypted channel, and therefore intercepted by malicious actors. Credentials are considered secrets, and should be kept encrypted until they are used. This policy control matches the following URI pattern protocol://username:password@domain within any software package component.Prevalence in RubyGems community
