CWE | CWE-1275: Sensitive Cookie with Improper SameSite Attribute |
OWASP | A01:2021 - Broken Access Control |
Confidence Level | Medium |
Impact Level | Low |
Likelihood Level | Low |
Description
The code sets cookies in Pyramid responses without explicitly specifying the 'samesite' attribute. Without this, browsers may send cookies with cross-site requests, making them more vulnerable to theft or misuse.
Impact
If exploited, attackers could perform Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) or steal session cookies by tricking users into making requests from another site. This could lead to unauthorized access to user accounts or sensitive data.
