Quick Reference
Element Code: SE-014
Issue: Form on HTTPS page submits data to HTTP URL
Impact: Form data transmitted insecurely despite HTTPS page
Fix: Update form action URLs to HTTPS
Detection: Form inspection, security audits
What Is This Issue?
A form on an HTTPS page that posts to an HTTP URL sends data insecurely. Users expect HTTPS pages to be secure, but the form submission is vulnerable.
Why This Matters for Your Website
This creates a false sense of security. Users see HTTPS and trust the page, but their data is transmitted insecurely.
How to Fix This Issue
- Update form actions: Change to https:// URLs
- Check all forms: Contact, search, login, newsletter
- Relative URLs: Can help if site is fully HTTPS
Tools for Detection
- Form inspection: Check action URLs
TL;DR (The Simple Version)
Forms on your HTTPS pages submit to HTTP URLs. Update form action attributes to use HTTPS.
