#4 Session Fixation — Secure Code Explain

🥺 Vulnerable Code

Here is a vulnerable Java code snippet that is susceptible to Session Fixation attack:

HttpSession session = request.getSession();
String sessionId = request.getParameter("sessionId");

if (sessionId != null) {
session.setId(sessionId);
}

This code is vulnerable to session fixation attacks because it allows an attacker to specify the session ID that should be used for the user’s session. An attacker could potentially fixate a user’s session by sending them a link with a malicious session ID, and then use that session ID to impersonate the user and gain access to their session.
