A vulnerability was detected in SourceCodester CET Automated Grading System with AI Predictive Analytics 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing. The manipulation results in session fixiation. The attack can be executed remotely. The attack requires a high level of complexity. The exploitability is assessed as difficult. The exploit is now public and may be used.
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.
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.
