CVE-2018-5114

This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.

MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 1.53%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.53%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

If an existing cookie is changed to be "HttpOnly" while a document is open, the original value remains accessible through script until that document is closed. Network requests correctly use the changed HttpOnly cookie. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
