Cookie Set Without Secure or HttpOnly Attributes

Category SECURITY_MISCONFIGURATION
Base Score 1.0

Description

A web application issued a Set-Cookie response header that omitted one or more protective attributes: HttpOnly, or Secure (on HTTPS).

Impact

Cookies without HttpOnly are readable by client-side scripts, increasing the impact of cross-site scripting. Cookies without Secure can be transmitted over cleartext HTTP. This is a hardening gap rather than a directly exploitable weakness.
