ColdFusion must protect Session Cookies from being read by scripts.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-62517 CF11-05-000199 SV-77007r1_rule Medium
Description
A cookie can be read by client-side scripts easily if cookie properties are not set properly during preparation for transmission. By allowing cookies to be read by the client-side scripts, information such as session identifiers could be compromised and used by an attacker who intercepts the cookie. Setting cookie properties (i.e., HTTPOnly property) to disallow client-side scripts from reading cookies better protects the information inside the cookie.
