CWE CWE-1275: Sensitive Cookie with Improper SameSite Attribute
OWASP A05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level Low
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The session cookie is set with SameSite=None, which allows it to be sent with cross-site requests. This setting can expose the application to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could trick users' browsers into sending authenticated requests to your app from malicious sites, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure. This weakens session security and puts user accounts at risk.
