CVE-2020-4665 affects IBM Sterling File Gateway versions 2.2.0.0 through 2.2.6.5 and 6.0.0.0 through 6.0.3.2. The vulnerability stems from the product's failure to set the "secure" attribute on authorization tokens and session cookies, making them susceptible to interception. An attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into clicking an insecure HTTP link, leading to the transmission of cookie values over unencrypted channels, which could then be intercepted. Rated with a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium), this vulnerability has a network attack vector and low attack complexity, requiring user interaction to succeed. The potential impact is limited to disclosure of sensitive information (cookies), with no integrity or availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is available. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, indicating a low level of public attention.
