Summary
Apache Jackrabbit from 2.23.0 through 2.23.5, from 2.22.0 through 2.22.4 and from 2.20.0 through 2.20.17 is affected. The WebDAV server attaches a cached authenticated session to a request when a Lock-Token, TransactionId, SubscriptionId or If-header token matches, without checking credentials (CWE-384). An unauthenticated remote attacker who can derive such a token can hijack another user's cached session.
