Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data in Apache Guacamole

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 13, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Feb 1, 2023

Package

maven org.apache.guacamole:guacamole-common (Maven)

Affected versions

< 1.0.0

Patched versions

1.0.0

Description

Prior to 1.0.0, Apache Guacamole used a cookie for client-side storage of the user's session token. This cookie lacked the "secure" flag, which could allow an attacker eavesdropping on the network to intercept the user's session token if unencrypted HTTP requests are made to the same domain.
