Cross-origin cookie injection via unvalidated push authority
Published Jun 8, 2026 · Updated Jun 8, 2026
Origin validation error in Nine Nines Gun before 2.4.0 allows remote attackers to inject cross-origin cookies through HTTP/2 server push. The gun_http2:push_promise_frame/7 routine stores the server-supplied :authority without matching it to the connection origin, and headers_frame/9 passes that value to the shared cookie store. A configured cookie_store, HTTP/2 server push, and a malicious or compromised server are required; planted cookies enable session fixation and account takeover when they replace a legitimate session token.
