Session takeover via exposed session keys
Published Jan 24, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Information disclosure in Jazzband django-user-sessions before 1.7.1 allows context-dependent attackers to steal session keys via session views. The session_list.html template places each session object's primary key, which is the session key, in a session_delete form action rendered into the page. Exploitation requires authenticated access to the session list, a separate cross-site scripting flaw, and user interaction; a stolen key enables takeover of the corresponding session.
