A weakness has been identified in Apache Tomcat, which could be exploited by attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information. This issue is caused due to the JSESSIONIDSSO cookie being sent without the "secure" attribute when using the SingleSignOn Valve (org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn) over HTTPS, which could be exploited to disclose sensitive information.
