Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Control Bypass via improper handling of the Set-Cookie header when the Domain attribute matches a public suffix. An attacker can cause cookies to be sent to arbitrary sibling subdomains by setting a cookie with a domain scope that matches a public suffix, leading to potential session hijacking or unauthorized access.
