Is Redmine Notification safe?

Medium risk

Redmine Notification sends the user's Redmine API key to configured HTTP Redmine servers in URL query strings.

Redmine Notification lets the user enter a Redmine server URL and does not require HTTPS. When it loads issue statuses, trackers, and issue polling data, it appends the Redmine API key as a key= query parameter; if the configured URL uses http://, that key is sent in a cleartext URL to the Redmine host.

Where it sends data
