CVE-2026-9825: CWE-617 Reachable Assertion in IBM CyberFraud
Description
IBM Cyber Fraud versions 1.0.0 through 1.0.2 have a vulnerability where the secure attribute is missing on sensitive cookies. This omission allows these cookies to be transmitted over unencrypted connections, which could enable an attacker to intercept session data via network-based attacks. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-617 (Reachable Assertion). The CVSS score is 3.7, indicating a low severity impact with limited confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-9825 affects IBM Cyber Fraud versions 1.0.0 through 1.0.2. The vulnerability arises from missing the secure attribute on sensitive cookies, causing them to be sent over unencrypted HTTP connections. This exposure can allow an attacker with network access to intercept session cookies, potentially compromising session confidentiality. The issue is classified under CWE-617 (Reachable Assertion). The CVSS 3.1 base score is 3.7, reflecting a network attack vector with high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and limited confidentiality impact.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows sensitive cookies to be transmitted without encryption, increasing the risk of session data interception by attackers on the same network. However, the impact is limited to confidentiality with no effect on integrity or availability. The overall severity is low.
Mitigation Recommendations
No vendor advisory or patch information is provided. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, avoid transmitting sensitive cookies over unencrypted connections and consider using network-level encryption such as VPNs or TLS proxies to protect session data.
