CVE-2022-34307Network attack vector

Session-cookie disclosure via missing Secure attribute

Published Aug 1, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Missing cookie protection in IBM CICS TX 11.1 allows remote attackers to disclose session cookies through insecure HTTP requests. The authorization-token and session-cookie handling omits the Secure attribute, causing browsers to send those values over unencrypted HTTP. Exploitation requires user interaction with an HTTP link and a network position that permits traffic snooping; the reported impact is cookie disclosure only.
