Proposal to Enhance Security: Encrypted URL Parameters

Hello OutSystems community,

I have a suggestion that I believe could significantly improve security in our applications developed on the platform.

Currently, when passing parameters via URL, these parameters can be easily visible and even manipulated by malicious users. This can represent a significant vulnerability, especially when these parameters contain sensitive information such as user IDs, authentication tokens, among others.

My proposal is to implement a functionality that allows marking input parameters on a screen as "Encrypted". When a parameter is marked as such, the value of this parameter would be automatically encrypted in the URL before being sent to the server.

This approach would provide an additional layer of security, making it more difficult for malicious third parties to view or manipulate sensitive data transmitted through URLs.

I would like to hear the community's opinion on this idea and whether it would be feasible to implement it on the OutSystems platform.
