  - Werkzeug is a comprehensive WSGI web application library. Browsers may allow nameless cookies that look
    like `=value` instead of `key=value`. A vulnerable browser may allow a compromised application on an
    adjacent subdomain to exploit this to set a cookie like `=__Host-test=bad` for another subdomain. Werkzeug
    prior to 2.2.3 will parse the cookie `=__Host-test=bad` as __Host-test=bad`. If a Werkzeug application is
    running next to a vulnerable or malicious subdomain which sets such a cookie using a vulnerable browser,
    the Werkzeug application will see the bad cookie value but the valid cookie key. The issue is fixed in
    Werkzeug 2.2.3. (CVE-2023-23934)
