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.

Weakness

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.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Stratos Cloudfoundry * 2.3.0 (excluding)

Extended Description

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.
