Selected Answer: A
Explanation: The issue in the security audit relates to confidentiality since the API request is being sent over HTTP, which is unencrypted. This means sensitive data (e.g., id=123&user=277) can be intercepted by attackers. 🔹 Solution: Implement TLS (Transport Layer Security) to encrypt communications by using HTTPS instead of HTTP. 🔹 Impact: This ensures end-to-end encryption, preventing unauthorized access or interception of sensitive data.
