An issue was discovered in BACKCLICK Professional 5.9.63. Due to an unsafe implementation of session tracking, it is possible for an attacker to trick users into opening an authenticated user session for a session identifier known to the attacker, aka Session Fixation.

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.
