HTTP requests are vulnerable to ________, which is largely mitigated in HTTPS.
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
- DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Attack
- Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attack
- SQL Injection
HTTP requests are vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks, where an attacker intercepts and potentially alters the communication between the client and server. HTTPS helps mitigate this vulnerability by encrypting the data, making it harder for attackers to tamper with or eavesdrop on the communication.
