AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, users should avoid accessing IBM Maximo Application Suite over unsecured HTTP connections and ensure that all links to the application use HTTPS. Administrators should monitor vendor updates for official patches or configuration changes that enforce the 'Secure' attribute on cookies.

Description

IBM Maximo Application Suite 9.2, 9.1, and 9.0 does not set the secure attribute on authorization tokens or session cookies. Attackers may be able to get the cookie values by sending a http:// link to a user or by planting this link in a site the user goes to. The cookie will be sent to the insecure link and the attacker can then obtain the cookie value by snooping the traffic.
