Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-384.
Summary
The application does not change the session token when using the login or logout functionality. An attacker can set a session token in the victim's browser (e.g. via XSS) and prompt the victim to log in (e.g. via a redirect to the login page). This results in the victim's account being taken over.
