CVE-2026-65655: CWE-614: Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute in Temporal Technologies, Inc. Temporal UI Server
When OAuth authentication is enabled and browser-facing TLS terminates at a reverse proxy that forwards the callback to Temporal UI Server over HTTP, affected versions derive authentication-cookie Secure attributes from the proxy-to-server connection. Temporal UI Server can therefore issue access-token cookies, and refresh-token cookies when provided by the identity provider, without Secure even though the browser completed login over HTTPS. A victim who visits attacker-controlled content while a credential remains live may expose that credential only if the attacker can also steer traffic for the UI hostname, prevent the browser's HTTPS connection from succeeding, serve the hostname over HTTP, and read a later same-site plaintext request. A malicious website alone cannot read the cookie, and passive observation of a successful TLS connection is insufficient. Effective HSTS, a blocking HTTPS-only warning, or TLS re-encryption between the proxy and Temporal UI Server prevents the demonstrated disclosure path. A recovered credential may be replayed within the victim's assigned permissions. Refresh-token replay additionally depends on the identity provider's issuance, expiry, rotation, and reuse-detection behavior.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
When OAuth authentication is enabled and TLS terminates at a reverse proxy that forwards requests to Temporal UI Server over HTTP, the server derives the Secure attribute of authentication cookies from the proxy-to-server connection. This can result in access-token and refresh-token cookies being issued without the Secure attribute despite the browser completing login over HTTPS. Exploitation requires an attacker to control traffic for the UI hostname, block HTTPS connections, serve the hostname over HTTP, and read same-site plaintext requests. The vulnerability allows replay of recovered credentials within the victim's permissions, with refresh-token replay depending on identity provider behavior. Effective HSTS, HTTPS-only warnings, or TLS re-encryption between proxy and server prevent the demonstrated attack path.
Potential Impact
An attacker who can manipulate network traffic and serve the Temporal UI hostname over HTTP may capture authentication cookies lacking the Secure attribute, potentially allowing replay of access and refresh tokens within the victim's permissions. However, exploitation requires multiple conditions including control over traffic and blocking HTTPS connections. A malicious website alone cannot read the cookies, and passive network observation is insufficient. The overall impact is limited by these conditions and the low CVSS score reflects this.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Mitigation includes ensuring TLS is re-encrypted between the reverse proxy and Temporal UI Server or configuring effective HSTS and HTTPS-only warnings to prevent downgrade to HTTP. Avoid terminating TLS at a proxy that forwards to the server over HTTP without secure cookie handling. These measures prevent the demonstrated disclosure path.
