Resolution: Done
Default authentication behavior vulnerable to session fixation
attacks
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WFLY-5663
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-5663
Project: WildFly
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Security, Web (Undertow)
Affects Versions: 10.0.0.CR4
Reporter: Paul Ferraro
Assignee: Stuart Douglas
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 10.0.0.CR5
See:
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Session_Fixation
In JBossWeb, there was a system property to enable this behavior:
org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.CHANGE_SESSIONID_ON_AUTH
Undertow does not seem to have an equivalent. I don't see any reason not to always
force a session ID change following successful authentication when HttpSession.isNew()
returns false.
