Insecure External Assets Event Type

Insecure External Assets events contain information about external assets. External assets include images or videos accessed by users over an insecure HTTP protocol. The event lists all your Salesforce pages that contain assets hosted insecurely on third-party sites that users loaded with a Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Safari browser. The INSECURE_URI field contains the URI being used to load the asset insecurely. The Insecure External Assets event type is available in the EventLogFile object in API version 42.0 and later.

Assets over HTTP can be manipulated through man-in-the-middle and other types of attacks. These attacks can trick users into sending their Salesforce credentials to malicious sites. Always use HTTPS in your custom code and templates for any asset you’re loading from external sites.

For details about event monitoring, see the Trailhead Event Monitoring module or the REST API Developer’s Guide.
