This vulnerability exists in Tacitine Firewall, all versions of EN6200-PRIME QUAD-35 and EN6200-PRIME QUAD-100 between 19.1.1 to 22.20.1 (inclusive), due to improper session management in the Tacitine Firewall web-based management interface. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted http request on the targeted device. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to perform session fixation on the targeted device.

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
En6200-prime_quad-35_firmware Tacitine 19.1.1 (including) 22.21.2 (excluding)

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.
