In the following cases, a cookie is constructed for a Flask response using
user input. The first uses set_cookie, and the second sets a cookie's raw
value through the set-cookie header.
{{{
from flask import request, make_response
@app.route("/1")
def set_cookie():
resp = make_response()
resp.set_cookie(request.args["name"], # BAD: User input is used to set
the cookie's name and value
value=request.args["name"])
return resp
@app.route("/2")
def set_cookie_header():
resp = make_response()
resp.headers['Set-Cookie'] =
f"{request.args['name']}={request.args['name']};" # BAD: User input is
used to set the raw cookie header.
return resp
}}}
