A session fixation vulnerability in South River Technologies Titan MFT and Titan SFTP servers on Linux and Windows allows an attacker to bypass the servers authentication if they can trick an administrator into authorizating a session id of their choosing
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titan_mft_server | Southrivertech | * | 2.0.18 (excluding) |
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.
