User Controllable Cookie
## Impact
Hi Team.
I dont know whether it is eligible for bounty or not, just want to let you know that cookies are not validating by the server when the requests comes from an un-authenticated user. Which means an attacker can set user cookie (Physically) and later attacker can set the same cookie at his browser and can perform malicious activities (can't track user activities accurately).
Also tested it is not possible with the authenticated user but may lead other possible vulnerabilities in future as it is a important cookie (PHPSESSID). Please check the screenshot and also the below URL (Only for reference provided netsparker link and not used for scanning or to attack).
