Description
IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 8.5 through 8.5.5.9 Liberty before Liberty Fix Pack 16.0.0.2 does not include the HTTPOnly flag in a Set-Cookie header for an unspecified JAX-RS API cookie, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information via script access to this cookie.
