A vulnerability has been identified in SINEMA Remote Connect Server (All versions < V3.2 SP2). The affected application does not properly handle user session establishment and invalidation. This could allow a remote attacker to circumvent the additional multi factor authentication for user session establishment.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sinema_remote_connect_server | Siemens | * | 3.2 (excluding) |
| Sinema_remote_connect_server | Siemens | 3.2 (including) | 3.2 (including) |
| Sinema_remote_connect_server | Siemens | 3.2-hf1 (including) | 3.2-hf1 (including) |
| Sinema_remote_connect_server | Siemens | 3.2-sp1 (including) | 3.2-sp1 (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.
