Machine-written summary

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

The react/http package (Packagist) versions from 0.7.0 before 1.7.0 are vulnerable. Cookie names are URL-decoded, so an attacker can send a cookie whose encoded name decodes to a `__Host-` or `__Secure-` prefix, letting them forge cookies meant to be secure. Upgrade to react/http 1.7.0 or later. The source gives few details on attacker position or required access.
