What is CVE-2016-8672?

A security flaw exists in certain SIMATIC products where the integrated web server transmits cookies without the 'secure' flag. This omission can lead to potential data leakage when cookies are sent over unencrypted connections. Modern web browsers recognize the 'secure' flag as a critical component for safe cookie transmission, making its absence a risk for exploitation, especially under clear text transmission scenarios. It is crucial for users to assess their systems and implement security measures to protect sensitive information from potential interception.
