I believe the CodeQL documentation here conflicts with MDN by omission: > In this example cookie1 is accessible from online-bank.com ... > ``` > HttpCookie cookie1 = new HttpCookie("sessionID"); > cookie1.Domain = "online-bank.com"; > ``` https://codeql.github.com/codeql-query-help/csharp/cs-web-broad-cookie-domain/ According to MDN, that cookie would _also_ be available to subdomains: > For example, if you set Domain=mozilla.org, cookies are available on mozilla.org and its subdomains like developer.mozilla.org. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies#domain_attribute The CodeQL documentation should state that "In this example cookie1 is accessible from online-bank.com _and its subdomains_".
