CVE-2026-4820 | IBM Maximo Application Suite was vulnerable to because Cookie ltpatoken2_<workspace_name> was not set with secure flag

IBM Maximo Application Suite 9.1, 9.0, 8.11, and 8.10 does not set the secure attribute on authorization tokens or session cookies. Attackers may be able to get the cookie values by sending a http:// link to a user or by planting this link in a site the user goes to. The cookie will be sent to the insecure link and the attacker can then obtain the cookie value by snooping the traffic.
