Severity
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

A cookie is being set 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, an attacker could steal session cookies by intercepting traffic over unsecured networks (like public Wi-Fi), potentially allowing unauthorized access to user accounts or sensitive data. This increases the risk of session hijacking and compromises user privacy.
