Kingdom: Security Features
Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.
Cookie Security: HTTPOnly not Set on CSRF Cookie
Abstract
The application fails to set the
HttpOnly flag to true for CSRF cookies.Explanation
Browsers support the
Example 1: When using the
HttpOnly cookie property that prevents client-side scripts from accessing the cookie. Cross-site scripting attacks often access cookies in an attempt to steal session identifiers or authentication tokens. Without HttpOnly enabled, attackers have easier access to user cookies.Example 1: When using the
django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware Django middleware, CSRF cookies are sent without setting the HttpOnly property.
