The F5 BIG-IP appliance must be configured to disable the persistent cookie flag.
Low Severity
<VulnDiscussion>For BIG-IP APM deployments with connectivity resources (such as Network Access, Portal Access, etc.), BIG-IP APM cookies cannot be set as Persistent. This is by design since cookies are stored locally on the client's hard disk, and thus could be exposed to unauthorized external access. For some deployments of the BIG-IP APM system, cookie persistence may be required. When selecting cookie persistence, persistence is hard coded at 60 seconds.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
