AC:H captures the mandatory application-level antipattern; C:L/I:L reflects indirect attribute-override impact enabling follow-on attacks rather than direct data loss.

DescriptionCVE.org

cookies is a Node.js library for reading and writing HTTP cookies, used by Koa via ctx.cookies. In versions before 0.9.2 the library validates the cookie name and value against character sets that reject the semicolon separator, but the domain and path options are checked only against a permissive RFC 7230 field-content matcher that allows semicolons, and both are written into the Set-Cookie header unescaped. An application that passes untrusted or request-derived data into the domain or path option can therefore inject additional cookie attributes, overriding SameSite, Secure, HttpOnly, or Domain on the cookies the application issues. This is a Set-Cookie attribute injection issue (CWE-74). The issue is fixed in cookies 0.9.2, which validates domain and path against RFC 6265 character sets. As a workaround, keep domain and path application-set rather than derived from untrusted input.

AnalysisAI

Set-Cookie attribute injection in the cookies Node.js library (versions before 0.9.2) enables an attacker to override cookie security attributes - SameSite, Secure, HttpOnly, or Domain - by embedding semicolons in the domain or path option when those options are populated from untrusted or request-derived data. Applications built on Koa (which delegates cookie handling to this library via ctx.cookies) represent the primary at-risk population. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target application passes untrusted or request-derived data - such as a URL path segment, a Host header value, or a query parameter - directly into the `domain` or `path` option of a `cookies.set()` call using a `cookies` library version earlier than 0.9.2. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 4.8 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) accurately characterises a real but highly conditional threat: exploitation requires an application-level antipattern - passing untrusted or request-derived data into the `domain` or `path` cookie option - rather than a flaw exploitable against all consumers of the library. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade the `cookies` npm package to version 0.9.2 or later, which enforces RFC 6265 character-set validation on the `domain` and `path` options and will reject values containing semicolons. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
