Security Bulletin
Summary
BAYEUX_BROWSER cookie is generated from Cometd Server and it remains live with the session. In older versions of cometd server, BAYEUX_BROWSER cookie was neither true for https nor for secure. But in the current version ie. 5.0.3, there is a provision to make the cookie true for https and secure.
Vulnerability Details
