Solution
Avoid exposing API credentials in URL query parameters; use secure authentication methods.
  • Update Flextype CMS to a version that does not expose credentials in URLs.
  • Configure web servers and proxies to redact sensitive query parameters.
  • Implement secure API authentication mechanisms like headers or tokens.
  • Review and sanitize server logs for exposed credentials.
