The application uses an insecure configuration for the SMTP server, allowing cleartext transmission of credentials over network. This exposes sensitive information to potential eavesdroppers.
Impact:
An attacker could intercept and use these credentials to gain unauthorized access to the email account or perform man-in-the-middle attacks on email communications.
Mitigation:
Configure SMTP connections to use SSL/TLS encryption for secure communication. Avoid using cleartext protocols that can be intercepted and read by unauthenticated parties.
