AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw occurs in TwiN gatus’s OIDC Session Cookie Handler, where the setSessionCookie routine does not set the Secure flag on session cookies. A cookie lacking this attribute can be transmitted over unencrypted channels, allowing an attacker with network visibility to intercept it and hijack a user’s authenticated session. The vulnerability is categorized as CWE‑1004 and CWE‑614 and can compromise confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data if an attacker steals session state.

Affected Systems

All installations of TwiN gatus version 5.36.0 are affected. The issue is present in the security/oidc.go component of that release. Future releases that include the secure flag fix are not impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.3 indicates a medium severity risk. The exploit is remote and requires high complexity and is considered difficult to execute. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting limited current exploitation activity. Nonetheless, exposure of session cookies over insecure links remains a significant threat to authenticated sessions.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade TwiN gatus to the latest supported release that applies the secure flag to OIDC session cookies.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, modify the application’s cookie handling logic or use a reverse proxy to enforce the Secure attribute on all session cookies.
  • Configure the session cookies with a SameSite attribute (e.g., Lax or Strict) and appropriate domain and path restrictions to further mitigate session hijacking risks.
