CVE-2023-0044Network attack vector

Information disclosure via root-scoped authentication cookies

Published Feb 23, 2023 · Updated Mar 12, 2025

Cross-site scripting in Quarkus Form Authentication before 2.13.7.Final allows remote attackers to disclose application data. FormAuthenticationMechanism and PersistentLoginManager hard-code the redirect and credential cookie paths to /, exposing those cookies across application paths on the same host. Reachability requires Form Authentication with a root cookie path and a cross-site request involving a browser session; the documented consequence is limited to information disclosure.
