Vulnerability description

This form submits user data using the GET method, therefore the contents of the password field will appear in the URL. Sensitive information should not be passed via the URL. URLs could be logged or leaked via the Referer header.

that's not correct, Looking at the rendered HTML of http://demo.piwik.org/index.php?module=Login there is a method="post":

<form name="login_form" id="login_form" method="post" ng-non-bindable="">

@Showian - I just checked the form and like Stefan said, the form sends data over POST. Below is the source code I get in my browser -

Maybe a false positive from Acunetix?
