Cookies exchanged between any Automation Controller NGINX web server and any client, such as session cookies, must have security settings that disallow cookie access outside the originating Automation Controller NGINX web server and hosted application. An XCCDF Rule
Cookies exchanged between any Automation Controller NGINX web server and any client, such as session cookies, must have security settings that disallow cookie access outside the originating Automation Controller NGINX web server and hosted application.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>It is important that cookies exchanged between any Automation Controller NGINX webserver and any client have security settings that do not allow cookie access outside the originating Automation Controller server and the hosted application. This is because exchanged cookies may have session information such as user credentials that enable the web server application and the client to maintain a persistent connection.
If cookie access outside of the originating Automation Controller NGINX webserver and the hosted application are allowed, it puts the security of the server at risk of malicious acts by bad actors.
