CVE-2013-6166 EXPLOIT
6.8
MEDIUM · CVSS 2.0 · EPSS 1.9% (pctl 79)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
Google Chrome before 29 sends HTTP Cookie headers without first validating that they have the required character-set restrictions, which allows remote attackers to conduct the equivalent of a persistent Logout CSRF attack via a crafted parameter that forces a web application to set a malformed cookie within an HTTP response.
