Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
http.cookiejar (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue concerns the handling of cookies by the http.cookiejar module, specifically when using the DefaultCookiePolicy. Cookies set for a path, such as
path=/any, are sent to unintended locations, like example.com/anybad/, due to a lack of proper prefix matching. The code fails to check for a slash as the first non-matching character in the path, leading to potential security issues.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
