Public exploit evidence
The sources identify public exploit references. We have not independently tested them; their availability does not establish exploitation in the wild.
gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsoup/-/work_items/443 ↗Attributed to CISA-ADPOriginal source description
Read the full publisher description
A flaw was found in libsoup. When handling cookies, libsoup clients mistakenly allow cookies to be set for public suffix domains if the domain contains at least two components and includes an uppercase character. This bypasses public suffix protections and could allow a malicious website to set cookies for domains it does not own, potentially leading to integrity issues such as session fixation.
