CVE-2024-28770Network attack vector

Session cookie disclosure via missing Secure attribute

Published Jan 27, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025

Missing Secure cookie attributes in IBM Security Verify Directory Integrator 10.0.0 allow remote authenticated users to intercept session cookies. The product omits the Secure attribute on authorization tokens and session cookies, so a browser sends them over HTTP when a crafted link is followed. Exploitation requires a user to follow an HTTP link and the attacker to snoop the resulting cleartext traffic, exposing cookie values without altering data or interrupting service.
