## Technical details

HCL Aftermarket EPC version 1.0.0 is vulnerable to a sensitive cookie exposure flaw (CWE-614). The application fails to properly configure security attributes, such as the 'Secure' flag, on cookies that appear to contain session tokens. This vulnerability typically allows an attacker to intercept session identifiers over unencrypted channels or via man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Exploitation requires network access and specific conditions (high attack complexity) such as a user being tricked into a specific interaction or an insecure network environment. The impact is a partial loss of confidentiality and integrity.
