a man-in-the-middle attack.  Authentication is not required to modify

remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this by causing all
WebYaST traffic to be routed through a host under their control.  This
could result in the disclosure of sensitive information (e.g., usernames
and passwords) and could allow an attacker to modify requests in
transit.");
