Session fixation vulnerability in EasyBlocks IPv6 Ver. 2.0.1 and earlier, and Enterprise Ver. 2.0.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to impersonate a registered user and log in the management console, that may result in information alteration/disclosure via unspecified vectors.

Weakness

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.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Easyblocks_ipv6_firmware Plathome * 2.0.1 (including)

Extended Description

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.
