CVE-2026-57948: Sensitive Cookie Without 'HttpOnly' Flag in pinpoint-apm pinpoint
Pinpoint through version 3.1.0 contains an insecure session management vulnerability that allows attackers to access the pinpointJwt session cookie due to missing HttpOnly and Secure attributes, enabling JavaScript access via document.cookie and cleartext transmission over HTTP. Attackers can exploit stored or reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities to exfiltrate the session token or intercept it through network sniffing to perform session hijacking.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Pinpoint through version 3.1.0 is affected by a vulnerability where the session cookie pinpointJwt is missing the HttpOnly and Secure attributes. Without HttpOnly, JavaScript running in the browser can access the cookie via document.cookie, and without Secure, the cookie can be transmitted over unencrypted HTTP connections. This insecure cookie handling enables attackers to steal session tokens through stored or reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or by intercepting network traffic, potentially leading to session hijacking.
Potential Impact
Attackers can access the pinpointJwt session cookie through client-side scripts or network sniffing due to missing security flags. This exposure allows theft of session tokens, enabling unauthorized session hijacking and impersonation of legitimate users. The vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:P) and has a high attack complexity (AC:H), but no privileges or authentication are needed to exploit.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, mitigate risk by ensuring the application is served over HTTPS to protect cookie transmission and by addressing any cross-site scripting vulnerabilities that could be used to steal cookies. Implementing HttpOnly and Secure flags on session cookies is recommended once a patch or configuration update is provided.
