Title: Microsoft Site Server and CIS Cookie Caching Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Some versions of Site Server and Commercial Internet System will send pages that set a cookie without flagging the page with an expiration header.

The second and subsequent users to do so may view personal or private information belonging to the first user if the cookies are part of an authentication scheme.

- Microsoft BackOffice 4.0
- Microsoft Commercial Internet System 2.0
