Some Enterprise VPN Apps Store Authentication/Session Cookies Insecurely (zdnet.com)

At least four Virtual Private Network (VPN) applications sold or made available to enterprise customers share security flaws, warns the Carnegie Mellon University CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) and the Department of Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Response Center (US-CERT). From a report: VPN apps from Cisco, F5 Networks, Palo Alto Networks, and Pulse Secure are impacted, CERT/CC analyst Madison Oliver said in a security alert published earlier today, echoed by the DHS' US-CERT. All four have been confirmed to store authentication and/or session cookies in an non-encrypted form inside a computer's memory or log files saved on disk.
