Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute

Property Value
Language generic
Severity low
CWE CWE-614: Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute
OWASP A05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level Low
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The session cookie is configured without the 'Secure' flag, which means it can be sent over unencrypted HTTP connections. This exposes sensitive session data to interception by attackers on the network.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could capture session cookies via unsecured connections, potentially hijacking user sessions and gaining unauthorized access to user accounts or sensitive information. This weakens overall application security and puts user data at risk.
