CVE-2009-10007 Details
Description
Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication versions before 0.10_027 for Perl is susceptible to session fixation attacks. Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication does not automatically change the session id after authentication. An attacker that obtains a session id cookie can use this to impersonate the victim.
A session fixation vulnerability exists in Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication for Perl, specifically in versions prior to 0.10_027. The issue arises because the plugin does not automatically change the session ID after a user is authenticated. This lack of session ID rotation allows an attacker who has obtained a session ID cookie to impersonate the victim.
Users can update to Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication version 0.10_027 or later, where the session fixation vulnerability has been addressed by introducing a setting that rotates the session ID after authentication.
