Cookie Security Scanner
Analyzes cookie attributes for Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite flags.
What is Cookie Security?
Cookie security analysis examines session and authentication cookies for proper security attributes: Secure (HTTPS only), HttpOnly (no JavaScript access), SameSite (CSRF protection), and appropriate expiration. Missing attributes can lead to session hijacking and CSRF attacks.
Why is This Important?
Session cookies without proper attributes can be stolen via XSS (missing HttpOnly), transmitted over HTTP (missing Secure), or used in CSRF attacks (missing SameSite). These are easy wins for attackers.
How It Works
1. Web Crawling
Intelligent crawling discovers all endpoints, forms, parameters, and dynamic content across your web application.
2. Payload Injection
AI-powered payloads test each input vector for web vulnerabilities with context-aware attack patterns.
3. Response Analysis
Advanced analysis detects vulnerability signatures in responses, confirming exploitability with proof-of-concept.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does each attribute do?
Secure: only sent over HTTPS. HttpOnly: inaccessible to JavaScript. SameSite: controls cross-site sending (Strict, Lax, None). Each protects against different attacks.
Which SameSite value should I use?
Strict provides best security but may break legitimate cross-site usage. Lax is a good default, protecting against CSRF while allowing top-level navigations.
Is HttpOnly enough to prevent XSS impact?
It prevents direct cookie theft but not other XSS impacts. Attackers can still make authenticated requests, read page content, or keylog while in the session context.
What about cookie scope (domain/path)?
Overly broad cookie scope (domain=.example.com) can expose cookies to subdomains you don't control. Keep cookie scope as narrow as possible.
