+# Use of GET request method with sensitive query strings (password)
+
+## Description
+
+The user's password was identified in the request URL. Passwords should never be sent in GET
+requests as they maybe captured by proxy systems, stored in browser history, or stored in
+log files. If an attacker were to get access to these logs or logging systems, they would
+be able to gain access to the target account.
+
+## Remediation
+
+Passwords should never be sent in GET requests. When authenticating users or requesting users
+reset their passwords, always use POST requests to transmit sensitive data.
