Summary

CVE-2025-24318 is a medium-severity Sensitive Cookie Without 'HttpOnly' Flag (CWE-1004) vulnerability in Cisa (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 5.9 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Steal Web Session Cookie (T1539); ranked at the 27th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SC-23 (Session Authenticity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-23 Session Authenticity good match

Proper implementation of session authenticity requires marking sensitive session cookies HttpOnly so that client scripts cannot access them.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Broad SDLC practices catch cookie-handling defects via standards/testing (mostly forward) yet remain too general to guarantee this narrow flag setting is always enforced (partial reverse).

PR.AT-02 partial match
prevents

Role-based training can reduce the chance developers introduce missing HttpOnly flags but supplies no enforcement or detection, leaving essentially all of the implementation flaw's risk intact.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect missing HttpOnly flags but does not prevent the weakness.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate HttpOnly on sensitive cookies.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require the HttpOnly flag for sensitive cookies.
