One post tagged with "Cookie Manipulation"

Cookie manipulation is a technique used by attackers to manipulate or alter HTTP cookies sent by a web application. By modifying or injecting malicious data into cookies, attackers can bypass security mechanisms, access unauthorized resources, or impersonate users. This type of attack often relies on vulnerabilities in the way cookies are handled or validated by the application, allowing the attacker to subvert expected behavior and gain unauthorized access.
