Published:2020-07-15
Updated:2020-07-22
Summary:IBM Publishing Engine 6.0.6, 6.0.6.1, and 7.0 does not set the secure attribute on authorization tokens or session cookies. Attackers may be able to get the cookie values by sending a http:// link to a user or by planting this link in a site the user goes to. The cookie will be sent to the insecure link and the attacker can then obtain the cookie value by snooping the traffic. IBM X-Force ID: 177354.
