IBM BigFix Platform 9.2.0 through 9.2.14 and 9.5 through 9.5.9 does not set the HttpOnly attribute on authorization tokens or session cookies. If a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability also existed attackers may be able to get the cookie values via malicious JavaScript and then hijack the user session. IBM X-Force ID: 140762.
