Apple Safari cannot properly restrict modifications to cookies established in HTTPS sessions, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to overwrite or delete arbitrary cookies via a Set-Cookie header in an HTTP response, related to lack of the HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) includeSubDomains feature, aka a "cookie forcing" issue.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Safari issue let a network attacker tamper with cookies that users expected to be protected by HTTPS. By injecting an HTTP response header, the attacker could overwrite or delete cookies, potentially disrupting sessions or weakening application trust in cookie state. Exposure is most relevant to legacy Apple Safari environments and sites relying on HTTPS cookies without complete HSTS subdomain coverage. The source bundle does not identify affected Safari versions or current product status. Treat this as a legacy browser and web-session integrity risk, not an emergency absent evidence of active exploitation. Prioritize if the business still supports old Safari clients or high-value applications lack strong HTTPS and HSTS coverage. Mitigation focus: Check Apple or browser vendor guidance for affected-version and patch status.; Use current supported browsers across managed endpoints.; Deploy HTTPS consistently with HSTS includeSubDomains where operationally safe..
