Categoria: Web Servers Fator de risco: High Adicionado: 18 Mar 2010
Synopsis:

The remote web application may be vulnerable to a session fixation
attack.

Description:

The remote web application uses cookies to track authenticated users. If the session cookie is already present before authentication, it remains unchanged after a successful login. That is, only server-side variables are updated.

Session cookies are expected to be unpredictable in a secure web application. If HTTP cookies can be manipulated (by injecting client- side JavaScript for example), then the attacker does not have to break the pseudo-random generator, and the web application is vulnerable to a 'session fixation' attack.

Solution:

Fix the application so that the session cookie is re-generated after successful authentication.

Risk factor:

High / CVSS Base Score : 7.5
