CVE-2024-28771Network attack vector

Session-token disclosure via insecure cookie attributes

Published Jan 27, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025

Sensitive cookie exposure in IBM Security Verify Directory Integrator 10.0.0 allows attackers to obtain authorization or session tokens. Authorization and session-cookie handling emits these cookies without the Secure attribute, so browsers transmit their values over attacker-induced HTTP requests. Exploitation requires user interaction and network visibility of the cleartext request; the disclosed value can enable unauthorized session access.
