CVE-2008-7298: Android Browser

Medium severity, CVSS 5.8. EPSS: 1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Android browser in Android 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.

Affected products

• Android Android Browser: any version
