Summary

CVE-2025-53757 is a high-severity Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute (CWE-614) vulnerability in Org (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Steal Web Session Cookie (T1539); ranked at the 19th 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) and SC-8 (Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

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.

SC-8 Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity good match

Requiring confidentiality protection for transmitted information forces use of HTTPS-only cookies via the Secure attribute, eliminating exposure of sensitive session data.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

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.DS-02 mostly match
prevents

Setting the Secure attribute is a direct mechanism for protecting sensitive session data in transit over HTTPS.

PR.PS-01 mostly match
prevents

Enforcing hardened configuration baselines includes requiring the Secure flag on sensitive cookies.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices explicitly require correct use of security attributes such as the cookie Secure flag.

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.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

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

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.8.24 Use of cryptography partial match
mitigates

Use of cryptography control mandates encryption in transit, which HTTPS provides, but does not specifically require the Secure cookie attribute.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can include cookie security settings, but the control is broader and does not explicitly mandate the Secure attribute.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding practices directly prevent missing the Secure attribute on sensitive cookies, though the control covers many other coding issues.

A.8.5 Secure authentication partial match
degrades

Secure authentication control requires protection of session credentials, directly addressed by setting the Secure flag on sensitive cookies.
