Cloud Foundry Stratos, versions prior to 2.3.0, deploys with a public default session store secret. A malicious user with default session store secret can brute force another users current Stratos session, and act on behalf of that user.
The product initializes or sets a resource with a default that is intended to be changed by the administrator, but the default is not secure.

Developers often choose default values that leave the product as open and easy to use as possible out-of-the-box, under the assumption that the administrator can (or should) change the default value. However, this ease-of-use comes at a cost when the default is insecure and the administrator does not change it.
