👉 The "cookies weapon" refers to a type of malicious code or exploit that leverages the functionality of cookies, small pieces of data stored on a user's device by websites to enhance user experience or track behavior. However, in the context of cybersecurity, this term is often used to describe how attackers can manipulate cookies to execute unauthorized actions or gain persistent access to a user's device. For example, an attacker might create a malicious cookie that, when set by a compromised website, can execute scripts or redirect users to phishing sites, or they might use cookies to maintain session persistence, allowing unauthorized access even after the user logs out. This highlights the importance of secure cookie management practices to prevent such exploitation.
