CWE CWE-614: Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute
OWASP A05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Low
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The application's configuration disables the Secure flag on cookies, allowing them to be sent over unencrypted HTTP connections. This exposes sensitive authentication or session information to interception by attackers on the network.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could steal users' session cookies via network sniffing, potentially hijacking accounts or gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data. This weakens the overall security of user sessions and increases the risk of data breaches.
