Abstraction : Variant
Description
The SameSite attribute for sensitive cookies is not set, or an insecure value is used.
Extended Description
The SameSite attribute controls how cookies are sent for cross-domain requests. This attribute
may have three values: 'Lax', 'Strict', or 'None'. If the 'None' value is used, a website may create
a cross-domain POST HTTP request to another website, and the browser automatically adds
cookies to this request. This may lead to Cross-Site-Request-Forgery (CSRF) attacks if there are
no additional protections in place (such as Anti-CSRF tokens).
