MSRC_CVE-2023-46218

Vulnerability from csaf_microsoft - Published: 2023-12-01 08:00 - Updated: 2024-12-04 00:00
Summary
This flaw allows a malicious HTTP server to set "super cookies" in curl that are then passed back to more origins than what is otherwise allowed or possible. This allows a site to set cookies that then would get sent to different and unrelated sites and domains. It could do this by exploiting a mixed case flaw in curl's function that verifies a given cookie domain against the Public Suffix List (PSL). For example a cookie could be set with `domain=co.UK` when the URL used a lower case hostname `curl.co.uk` even though `co.uk` is listed as a PSL domain.
