CVE-2016-10530: Airbrake

Medium severity, CVSS 5.9. EPSS: 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The airbrake module 0.3.8 and earlier defaults to sending environment variables over HTTP. Environment variables can often times contain secret keys and other sensitive values. A malicious user could be on the same network as a regular user and intercept all the secret keys the user is sending. This goes against common best practice, which is to use HTTPS.
