Axis Service Requester Misconfiguration: Weak Token
Abstract
Using a UsernameToken with a plain text password over an unencrypted channel exposes the password to attackers who can sniff the SOAP messages.
Explanation
Sending plain text passwords or password hashes over an unencrypted channel can expose the credential to attackers who can sniff the SOAP message.
