CVE-2025-53861
Sensitive cookies without security flags over non-encrypted channels can lead to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) and Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks allowing attackers to read transmitted data.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.11%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
