eQ-3 HomeMatic CCU3 firmware 3.41.11 allows session fixation. An attacker can create session IDs and send them to the victim. After the victim logs in to the session, the attacker can use that session. The attacker could create SSH logins after a valid session and easily compromise the system.
Authenticating a user, or otherwise establishing a new user session, without invalidating any existing session identifier gives an attacker the opportunity to steal authenticated sessions.

Such a scenario is commonly observed when:
In the generic exploit of session fixation vulnerabilities, an attacker creates a new session on a web application and records the associated session identifier. The attacker then causes the victim to associate, and possibly authenticate, against the server using that session identifier, giving the attacker access to the user’s account through the active session.
