Description

Version: 2.3.3_1
Vulnerability Scanner: OpenVas
Possible Vulnerability #1: SSL/TLS: Missing `secure` Cookie Attribute
- Extra Info:

The cookies:

Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=***replaced***; path=/

are missing the "secure" attribute.

Possible Vulnerability #2: Missing `httpOnly` Cookie Attribute
- Extra Info:

The cookies:

Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=***replaced***; path=/

are missing the "httpOnly" attribute.

A forum post from 2014, Bug #4069, appeared to identify similar problem related to Cookie_Test. I don't know enough to determine if this one is a false positive or not. Seeking clarity. If it is a false positive, it would be nice to make changes to avoid the false positive from triggering in vulnerability scanners. Seeking clarity here.

Cheers,
A

Are you sure your scanner is hitting the firewall and not being redirected to another web service?

Looking at the cookies set in my browser when accessing various pfSense firewalls, they have appropriate flags set on the cookies.
