Summary

WebDyne, a Perl framework for building web applications, is affected because its session module issues session cookies without the Secure, HttpOnly, or SameSite protections. This lets attackers on the network or injected scripts steal a user's session, and lets other websites make requests that carry that session.

Summarized by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5. Verify details against the original sources.

Read the original description

WebDyne versions from 2.014 before 3.022 for Perl issue session cookies without the Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite attributes. WebDyne::Session sets its session cookie with only a name, value and path. Browsers then send the session ID over plain HTTP and with cross-site requests, and expose it to page scripts. A network attacker or an injected script can steal the session, and another site can make requests that carry it.
