CVE-2026-66249: CWE-614 Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute in HCL Software iControl
iControl is affected by a Missing Secure Attribute vulnerability, which could allow an attacker to intercept cookies transmitted over unencrypted HTTP connections, enabling the unauthorized extraction of sensitive information such as session identifiers.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-66249 identifies a Missing Secure Attribute vulnerability in HCL Software iControl version 4.5.0. The absence of the 'Secure' flag on cookies means that these cookies may be sent over unencrypted HTTP connections, increasing the risk that an attacker could intercept sensitive session information. The vulnerability is rated low severity with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.1, reflecting limited confidentiality impact and requiring high attack complexity with low privileges.
Potential Impact
An attacker could potentially intercept cookies transmitted without the 'Secure' attribute if the user accesses the service over an unencrypted HTTP connection. This could lead to unauthorized access to session identifiers, but the overall impact is limited due to the requirement of network access and the low confidentiality impact rating.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation guidance is provided in the available data. Users should ensure that cookies are set with the 'Secure' attribute to prevent transmission over unencrypted connections. Until an official fix is released, avoid accessing the affected version over unencrypted HTTP and prefer HTTPS connections exclusively. Monitor vendor advisories for updates regarding patches or official mitigations.
