Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Academic Web Tools (AWT YEKTA) versions 1.4.2.8 and earlier, 1.4.3.1

Description The issue allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions. This is achieved by setting the PHPSESSID parameter in specific API endpoints, such as "index.php" and "login.php" in "homepg/".
