Free browser tool inspects cookie security, flags XSS/CSRF risks

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer built a free, client-side HTTP Cookie Inspector that parses Set-Cookie headers and scores security from 0 to 100. The tool flags missing Secure, HttpOnly, or SameSite attributes and warns of XSS/CSRF risks. It runs entirely in the browser with 84 passing tests.

Meridian48 take
Useful for developers, but the security scoring is simplistic and shouldn't replace a proper audit.
