IPP Software: Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute
CVE-2026-22617 is a high-severity sensitive cookie in HTTPS session without 'secure' attribute vulnerability in IPP Software from Eaton, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.4 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 2.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating IPP Software to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update IPP Software to 2.0 or a later version.
- Update Intelligent Power Protector to 2.00 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on eaton.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
