PCI Scan issue:- Encrypt the username/password

Scan Results

THREAT:

The Web server uses plain-text form based authentication. A web page exists on the target host which uses an HTML login form. This data is sent from the client to the server in plain-text

SOLUTION:

Please contact the vendor of the hardware/software for a possible fix for the issue. For custom applications, ensure that data sent via HTML login forms is encrypted before being sent from the client to the host.

RESUL T :

GET /cgi-bin/admin.php3?admin=YmxhYmxhOg%3D%3D&op=mod_authors HTTP/1.1 Host: www.xyz.com
Connection: Keep-Alive
