Title: Allaire JRun Unnecessary JSessionID Appending In URL Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Allaire JRun is a web application development suite.
When a user visits a web application based on JRun, they are given a session id. Under some circumstances this session id will be appended to the URL requested, despite already being stored in a cookie.
If the user follows a link to a remote page, this URL will be given as the referrer value in the new HTTP request. The foreign server may then log this value, exposing the session id to anyone with access to the server logs. This information may be used to take control of the user's JRun session.
Depending on the application, the user may be able to perform actions as other users or otherwise violate security if they gain the session ID of another client.
Affected Products:
- Macromedia JRun 3.0.0
- Macromedia JRun 3.1.0
