Overview

Cookie domain is set broadly. Broad domain (e.g., .example.com) is insecure, because in this case the vulnerability in one application could endanger other applications in the same domain.

Sensitive Data Exposure vulnerabilities take the third place in the “OWASP Top 10 2017” web-application vulnerabilities ranking.
