No end-to-end HTTPS

SecuritySeverity: HighCWE-319OWASP A02-2021

Checks whether the final response is served encrypted or ends up on plain http.

Why this matters

Without end-to-end HTTPS, everything travelling between browser and server goes in clear text — logins, forms, session cookies. On public Wi-Fi that is readable and modifiable.

A common cause in AI and no-code projects: the app itself runs encrypted, but a custom domain was placed in front without a certificate, or http does not permanently redirect to https. Both look unremarkable day to day.

For projects in Germany, Austria and Switzerland there is an added angle: transmitting personal data over an unencrypted connection is also attackable under data protection law. Fix: set up a certificate and force all http requests to https with a permanent redirect.
