CVE-2004-0462 describes a vulnerability in multiple networking devices where their built-in web servers fail to set the "Secure" attribute for sensitive cookies during HTTPS sessions. This oversight could lead to user agents inadvertently transmitting these cookies in plaintext over subsequent HTTP sessions to the same server, potentially exposing sensitive information. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.1 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N), indicating local access, low attack complexity, and a partial impact on confidentiality. There is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is available, though it has garnered significant community discussion with 10 mentions.
