| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PHP versions prior to 5.5.2
Description
The issue is related to a session fixation vulnerability in the Sessions subsystem, allowing remote attackers to hijack web sessions by specifying a session ID. This is also associated with errors in privilege management, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to capture a user's session.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 5.5.2, update to version 5.5.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider implementing additional session validation and regeneration mechanisms to minimize the risk of session hijacking. Restrict access to sensitive session data to prevent exploitation.
