QRadar EDR vulnerability exposes authorization tokens and session cookies

CVE-2023-33860

Summary

IBM Security QRadar EDR 3.12 has a vulnerability related to the insufficient security of authorization tokens and session cookies. The software fails to set the secure attribute on these tokens, which could lead to potential interception by attackers. By crafting deceptive links or embedding malicious scripts in trusted sites, attackers can lure users into visiting the unsafe URLs. If a user clicks on such a link, their session cookies may be sent over unencrypted channels, allowing attackers to capture sensitive cookie values through network snooping. Organizations using QRadar EDR should take appropriate measures to secure against this vulnerability to protect user sessions and sensitive data.
