Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.

1) Sensitive cookie in HTTPS session without Secure attribute

EUVDB-ID: #VU73957

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 0.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28708

CWE-ID: CWE-614 - Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute

Exploit availability: No
