Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

WebDyne versions from 2.014 before 3.022 set session cookies without the Secure, HttpOnly, or SameSite attributes. A network attacker on a plain HTTP connection, a script injected into a page, or a third-party site can use the cookie to take over a session. The source gives few details on conditions beyond this. No fix version is listed in the source beyond 3.022, so upgrade to 3.022 or later.
