1) Session hijacking (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-12610)

CWE-ID: CWE-384 - Session Fixation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to conduct an impersonation attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists in the built-in PLAIN or Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM) server implementations due to improper processing of protocol messages when the affected software uses Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL)/PLAIN or SASL/SCRAM authentication. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a malicious protocol message and impersonate other users, which could be used to conduct further attacks.
