CVE-2008-7298 describes a "cookie forcing" vulnerability in the Android browser, affecting various Android versions and the Google Android browser. This flaw allows man-in-the-middle attackers to overwrite or delete cookies from HTTPS sessions by injecting a Set-Cookie header into an HTTP response, due to the browser's inability to properly restrict cookie modifications. With a CVSS score of 5.8 (medium severity), it requires medium attack complexity (AC:M) and can lead to partial integrity and availability impacts (I:P/A:P). There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
