Many of the default DNN files (like js\DNN.js,  DotNetNukeAjaxShared.js) use persistent cookies. This is causing a vulnerability issue in the site. Please provide suggestions to solve this issue.

you may specify duration of persistent cookies in your web.config, by default it is set to 0, i.e. it will be timed out with the session. You may also turn off "remember me" option in Host settings. HTH

Hi,

Thanks for the information !

If the cookie expiration is altered in the following files, Will the overall website be affected? In my website, I want to maintain session cookies and remove persistent cookies, but in these files cookies are kept valid till one year. Is this cookie definition necessary for certain dot net nuke features to work?

  DotNetNuke\js\Scripts\cookie.js- (Examples-options.expires*24*60*60*1000)
  DotNetNuke\Default.aspx.vb
 
  DotNetNuke\DesktopModules\Content\Dashboard\tiny_mce\tiny_mce_src.js
 
  DotNetNuke\DesktopModules\OWS\Scripts\OWS.Utilities.js
 
  DotNetNuke\js\dnn.js
 
  DotNetNuke\Portals\_default\Skins\js\ui.tabs.js
 
  DotNetNuke\Resources\Shared\scripts\DotNetNukeAjaxShared.js
 

I am working on maintining these cookies as sessioon cookies. So should removing the expires tag from the above listed files be sufficient? Also, Web.Config has an entry -

<add key="PersistentCookieTimeout" value="0" />

Should this take care of changing the cookies from persistent to session?

Thanks a lot !
