Session Fixation

CVE-2025-64100

Severity Medium
Score 6.1/10

Summary

CKAN is an open-source DMS (data management system) for powering data hubs and data portals. In versions 2.10.0 through 2.10.8 and 2.11.0 through 2.11.3, session ids could be fixed by an attacker if the site is configured with server-side session storage (CKAN uses cookie-based session storage by default). The attacker would need to either set a cookie on the victim's browser or steal the victim's currently valid session. Session identifiers are now regenerated after each login.
