Summary

The IBM Security Directory Server 6.4.0 fails to secure authorization tokens and session cookies by not setting the secure attribute. This oversight allows attackers to potentially intercept cookie values through crafted links. When a user clicks on an insecure link, their cookies may be sent without encryption, exposing sensitive session data to attackers who can then snoop on the traffic and exploit the information.

Affected Version(s)
