Multiple Vendor Internet Browsers Cookie Path Argument Restriction Bypass Vulnerability

Multiple vendor Internet Browsers have been reported to be prone to a cookie path argument restriction bypass vulnerability. The issue presents itself due to a failure to properly sanitize encoded URI content, this may make it possible for an attacker to craft a URI that will contain encoded directory traversal sequences sufficient to provide access to a supposedly path exclusive cookie from an alternate path.

Mitigation:

Ensure that all user-supplied input is properly sanitized and validated before being used.
