Until a fix is available, avoid using GET requests for authentication or passing credentials in URL parameters. Consider using POST requests or other secure authentication methods that do not expose credentials in URLs.
Description
IBM Security Verify Directory versions 10.0.0 through 10.0.4 and 11.0.0 accept authentication credentials via HTTP GET requests, allowing passwords to be passed as URL parameters. This behavior exposes sensitive credentials in browser history and server logs, increasing the risk of credential leakage.
