What is CVE-2020-4316?

IBM Publishing Engine versions 6.0.6, 6.0.6.1, and 7.0 exhibit a security flaw where the secure attribute is not set on authorization tokens or session cookies. This oversight allows attackers to potentially harvest cookie values by tricking users into clicking on a malicious link or embedding the link within a compromised site. Consequently, the cookies could be transmitted over insecure connections, making them vulnerable to interception during transmission, which could lead to unauthorized access or data exfiltration.
