Unsafe value for session tracking in WEB-INF/web.xml

Description

This web application is configured to support session tracking by cookies and URLs. The session tracking by URL is also known as "URL rewriting" wherein you see the ;jsessionid=id to appear in URLs. This will be triggered automatically when the client has cookies disabled. It's recommended to disable tracking by URL, and explicitly specify a tracking mode by cookie only.

Remediation

Change the value for <strong>tracking-mode</strong> in WEB-INF/web.xml to make sure the JSESSIONID is stored in a cookie: <pre> &lt;session-config&gt; &lt;tracking-mode&gt;COOKIE&lt;/tracking-mode&gt; &lt;/session-config&gt; </pre>
