HTTP Basic Auth Over Plain HTTP: How ESP32 Credentials Were Exposed on Your Wi-Fi

A medium-severity vulnerability in the ESP32-audioI2S library allowed audio streaming credentials to be transmitted via HTTP Basic Authentication over unencrypted HTTP connections, making them trivially recoverable by anyone on the same network. The fix gates the Authorization header behind an SSL/TLS check, ensuring credentials are only sent when the connection is encrypted. For embedded IoT devices where credentials are often hardcoded in firmware, this kind of passive interception risk is esp
