Description Preview
The vulnerability identified as CVE-2015-1994 affects IBM Security QRadar Incident Forensics version 7.2.x before 7.2.5 Patch 5. This vulnerability arises from the absence of the HTTPOnly flag in the Set-Cookie header for the session cookie. This oversight makes it easier for malicious actors to access potentially sensitive information by leveraging script access to the cookie.
Overview
This vulnerability in IBM Security QRadar Incident Forensics allows remote attackers to potentially obtain sensitive information due to the lack of the HTTPOnly flag in the session cookie's Set-Cookie header. By exploiting this weakness, attackers can access the session cookie through scripts, increasing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data.
Remediation
To address this vulnerability, users of IBM Security QRadar Incident Forensics version 7.2.x before 7.2.5 Patch 5 are advised to apply the necessary patch provided by IBM. Installing Patch 5 for version 7.2.5 ensures that the HTTPOnly flag is included in the Set-Cookie header for the session cookie, enhancing security and mitigating the risk of potential information exposure.
