Insecure Use of Cookies

Vulnerability Assessment as a Service (VAaaS)
Tests systems and applications for vulnerabilities to address weaknesses.

Insecure use of cookies refers to a security vulnerability that arises when cookies, which are small text files stored on a user’s computer by a website, are not properly secured. Cookies can be used to store user preferences and login information, but they can also be exploited by malicious actors to gain unauthorized access to a user’s account or steal sensitive information.
Insecure use of cookies can occur when websites transmit sensitive information, such as usernames and passwords, in plain text rather than encrypting them. This makes it easy for an attacker to intercept the information and use it to gain access to the user’s account. Insecure cookies can also be manipulated or forged by attackers to gain access to sensitive areas of a website.
Example of vulnerable code on different programming languages:
• in JavaScript:
// Set a cookie with user's session ID
document.cookie = "session_id=" + session_id;
// Retrieve the session ID from the cookie
var session_id = document.cookie.split(';').find(cookie => cookie.startsWith('session_id=')).split('=')[1];
This code is vulnerable because it sets the session ID in a cookie without the HttpOnly and Secure flags. This makes it easy for an attacker to steal the session ID and gain unauthorized access to the user’s account.
• in PHP:
// Set a cookie with user's username and password
setcookie('user_info', $username . ':' . $password);
// Retrieve the username and password from the cookie
list($username, $password) = explode(':', $_COOKIE['user_info']);
This code is vulnerable because it stores the user’s username and password in a cookie without encrypting it. This makes it easy for an attacker to intercept the cookie and steal the user’s login credentials.
• in Python:
# Set a cookie with user's session ID
response.set_cookie('session_id', session_id)
# Retrieve the session ID from the cookie
session_id = request.COOKIES.get('session_id')
This code is vulnerable because it sets the session ID in a cookie without the HttpOnly and Secure flags. This makes it easy for an attacker to steal the session ID and gain unauthorized access to the user’s account.
• in Ruby:
# Set a cookie with user's session ID
response.set_cookie('session_id', session_id)
# Retrieve the session ID from the cookie
session_id = request.cookies['session_id']
This code is vulnerable because it sets the session ID in a cookie without the HttpOnly and Secure flags. This makes it easy for an attacker to steal the session ID and gain unauthorized access to the user’s account.
Examples of exploitation Insecure Use of Cookies
Session hijacking:
If a website stores a user’s session ID in an insecure cookie, an attacker can intercept the cookie and use the session ID to gain access to the user’s account. This is known as session hijacking.
Cross-site scripting (XSS):
If a website stores user input in a cookie without properly sanitizing it, an attacker can inject malicious code into the cookie. When the user’s browser reads the cookie, the malicious code can execute and steal sensitive information or perform unauthorized actions.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF):
If a website stores authentication information in an insecure cookie, an attacker can create a fake form on a different website that sends a request to the vulnerable website using the user’s authentication cookie. This is known as cross-site request forgery.
Cookie tampering:
If a website stores sensitive information in a cookie without properly encrypting it, an attacker can intercept the cookie and modify its contents. For example, an attacker could change a user’s account balance in a cookie to steal money from the user’s account.
Privilege escalation techniques for Insecure Use of Cookies
Session fixation:
An attacker can set the session ID in a cookie to a known value before the user logs in, or force the user to use a specific session ID. This allows the attacker to use the known session ID to access the user’s account after they have logged in, effectively hijacking the user’s session.
Session poisoning:
An attacker can inject malicious code into a cookie that modifies the user’s session data. For example, an attacker could change the user’s role or privilege level in the session data to gain access to higher levels of access on the website.
Cookie poisoning:
An attacker can modify the contents of a cookie to gain access to higher levels of access on the website. For example, an attacker could modify a cookie that stores the user’s role or privilege level to gain access to higher levels of access.
Cookie replay:
An attacker can intercept a cookie and replay it to gain access to the user’s account. This is possible if the cookie does not have a limited lifespan or is not invalidated when the user logs out.
Cookie theft:
An attacker can steal a user’s cookie, either by intercepting it over an insecure connection or by using a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack to inject malicious code that steals the user’s cookies.
General methodology and checklist for Insecure Use of Cookies
Methodology:
Identify the cookies used by the application: Review the application’s documentation or source code to identify the cookies used by the application, and note the names, values, and purpose of each cookie.
Determine the cookie attributes: Determine whether the cookies have attributes such as HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite, and expiration time. If any of these attributes are missing or set incorrectly, the cookies may be vulnerable to attacks.
Test for session hijacking: Attempt to intercept the user’s cookies and use them to gain access to the user’s account. This can be done using a proxy tool such as Burp Suite, or by sniffing network traffic with a packet sniffer.
Test for session fixation: Attempt to set the user’s session ID to a known value before the user logs in, or force the user to use a specific session ID. Then, attempt to use the known session ID to access the user’s account after they have logged in.
Test for cookie poisoning: Attempt to modify the contents of a cookie to gain access to higher levels of access on the website. For example, attempt to modify a cookie that stores the user’s role or privilege level to gain access to higher levels of access.
Test for cookie replay: Attempt to intercept a cookie and replay it to gain access to the user’s account. This is possible if the cookie does not have a limited lifespan or is not invalidated when the user logs out.
Test for cookie theft: Attempt to steal a user’s cookie, either by intercepting it over an insecure connection or by using a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack to inject malicious code that steals the user’s cookies.
Test for anti-CSRF measures: Check if the application implements anti-CSRF measures to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.
Report findings and suggest remediation: Document any vulnerabilities found and report them to the application owner or development team. Suggest remediation measures such as implementing secure cookie handling practices and validating session and cookie data on the server side.
Checklist:
Identify all cookies used by the application, including their names, values, and purposes.
Check if all cookies are marked as HttpOnly to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
Check if all cookies are marked as Secure to prevent interception over unencrypted connections.
Check if all cookies have a SameSite attribute set to either Strict or Lax to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
Check if all cookies have an appropriate expiration time to limit their lifespan and reduce the risk of theft or replay attacks.
Check if the application implements anti-CSRF measures to prevent CSRF attacks.
Check if the application properly invalidates session cookies when a user logs out to prevent replay attacks.
Check if the application uses session IDs that are randomly generated and not easily predictable to prevent session fixation attacks.
Check if the application properly validates session and cookie data on the server side to prevent poisoning attacks.
Test the application for session hijacking, session fixation, cookie poisoning, cookie replay, and cookie theft.
Document any vulnerabilities found and report them to the application owner or development team.
Suggest remediation measures such as implementing secure cookie handling practices and validating session and cookie data on the server side.

List of payloads Insecure Use of Cookies
'"><script>alert(1)</script>: This payload can be used to test for a vulnerability that allows injection of script tags in cookie values.%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(1)%3C/script%3E: This is an encoded version of the previous payload that can be used in certain contexts where special characters are not allowed.document.cookie="name=value; path=/; domain=.example.com;";alert(1);: This payload sets a cookie and also executes a script that triggers an alert box.name=value; HttpOnly: This is a cookie that sets the HttpOnly flag, which prevents client-side scripts from accessing the cookie.name=value; Secure: This is a cookie that sets the Secure flag, which ensures that the cookie is only sent over a secure connection (HTTPS).name=value; SameSite=Strict: This is a cookie that sets the SameSite attribute to Strict, which restricts the cookie to first-party contexts only.name=value; SameSite=Lax: This is a cookie that sets the SameSite attribute to Lax, which allows the cookie to be sent in some third-party contexts (such as when loading an image or script from a third-party domain).name=value; domain=evil.com: This is a cookie that sets the domain attribute to a different domain than the one the cookie was issued from, which can be used to exploit vulnerabilities that allow cookie injection.name=value; path=/../: This is a cookie that sets the path attribute to a directory traversal sequence (/../), which can be used to exploit vulnerabilities that allow cookie injection.name=value; expires=Wed, 21 Oct 2020 07:28:00 GMT: This is a cookie that sets an expiration date, which can be used to test for vulnerabilities related to cookie expiration.
How to be protected from Insecure Use of Cookies
Use the HttpOnly flag: By setting the HttpOnly flag on your cookies, you can prevent client-side scripts from accessing them. This makes it harder for attackers to steal your cookies using cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
Use the Secure flag: By setting the Secure flag on your cookies, you can ensure that they are only sent over a secure (HTTPS) connection. This makes it harder for attackers to intercept your cookies using network sniffing tools.
Use the SameSite attribute: By setting the SameSite attribute on your cookies to Strict or Lax, you can prevent them from being sent in cross-site requests. This makes it harder for attackers to use your cookies to perform cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
Use token-based authentication: Instead of relying on cookies for authentication, use a token-based authentication scheme. This can be more secure because the tokens can be designed to expire quickly, and they can be validated on the server-side to prevent tampering.
Use a Content Security Policy (CSP): By using a CSP, you can prevent your pages from loading scripts or other resources from untrusted domains. This can help prevent attacks that rely on injecting malicious scripts or other content into your pages.
Keep your software up to date: Make sure you are running the latest versions of your web server, database server, and application software. This can help protect you from known vulnerabilities that have been patched in newer versions.
Use a web application firewall (WAF): A WAF can help protect your application from attacks by filtering incoming traffic and blocking requests that match known attack patterns.
Use strong passwords: Make sure you are using strong passwords for your accounts, and consider using a password manager to generate and store them securely.
Conclusion
Insecure Use of Cookies vulnerabilities can have serious consequences for web applications and their users. Attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to steal sensitive data, impersonate users, or perform other malicious activities.
To prevent Insecure Use of Cookies vulnerabilities, it is important to use secure coding practices and follow best practices for cookie management. This includes using HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite attributes, as well as token-based authentication and other security measures.
Regular testing and vulnerability scanning can also help detect and remediate Insecure Use of Cookies vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers.
