Cookie Crumbles: Unveiling Web Session Integrity Vulnerabilities
Discover the vulnerabilities in web session integrity and learn how to implement robust security measures to protect your application from cookie-based attacks.
- Cookies can be vulnerable to session fixation and cross-site request forgery attacks due to legacy design and implementation issues.
-
The
set-cookieattribute is not secure and can be manipulated by an attacker. - Nameless cookies are still supported in modern browsers and can be used to bypass security restrictions.
-
The
pathattribute can be used to bypass host prefixes and access cookies from other domains. -
The
secureattribute is not enough to ensure cookie security, as an attacker can still overwrite the session cookie. -
The
strict-secureattribute is not implemented consistently across browsers and frameworks. -
The
synchronizer token patternis not effective against same-site attackers. -
The
RFC 6265bisstandard does not provide sufficient guidance on cookie security. - Most web frameworks and applications are still vulnerable to cookie-based attacks.
- Implementing security measures such as HSTS and HTTPS can help mitigate cookie-based attacks.
- Web developers and framework developers need to prioritize cookie security and implement robust security measures to protect against attacks.
