TCP/IP function included in the firmware of Mitsubishi Electric GOT2000 series (CoreOS with version -Y and earlier installed in GT27 Model, GT25 Model, and GT23 Model) does not properly manage sessions, which may allow a remote attacker to stop the network functions of the products or execute a malicious program via a specially crafted packet.
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.
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coreos | Mitsubishielectric | * | y (including) |
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.
