AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

IBM CICS TX 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.
