A security auditor is reviewing the use of the VxRail REST API in a production environment. The administrator uses a script that logs in with basic authentication every time it runs. What is the primary security concern with this approach?

Basic authentication requires the use of the root account, which is a security risk.

Basic authentication credentials are sent in plaintext unless HTTPS is enforced.

Which authentication method is commonly used to access the VxRail REST API?
