And a browser can be tricked into sending the cookie if you accidentally misconfigure the server. You will have no indication or warning of this happening, from either the client or server side, if you get it wrong.
If u use live book to print the erlangs distribution cookie, u still would need to steal the inter nodes certificate and be on the server network to do any shenanigans
But how would u get into livenotebook in first place if u shouldn't have access to the container it and the connected nodes run on? I mean u can easily destroy a production system with couple erlang commands
