CWE-384
AllowedSession Fixation
Abstraction: Compound · Status: Incomplete
Authenticating a user, or otherwise establishing a new user session, without invalidating any existing session identifier gives an attacker the opportunity to steal authenticated sessions.

GHSA-5QFP-32CF-69JH
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-01 20:00 – Updated: 2026-07-01 20:00The HTTP /rpc sessions method returned every attached session UUID without authentication, and the /rpc handler accepted an arbitrary session field with no ownership check. An anonymous caller could enumerate UUIDs and impersonate any authenticated session.
"Attached" means sessions registered via {"method":"attach"} — the only writer to the HTTP session map. Ordinary stateless /rpc requests use ephemeral per-request sessions that are filtered from sessions() and destroyed at end-of-request, so they are not enumerable.
Exposure
- Exposed: clients that issue
attach, notably the official Rust SDK'sHttp/Httpsengine (auto-attaches once perSurrealhandle). - Not exposed: REST endpoints (
/sql,/key,/signin,/export, etc.); WebSocket/rpc(per-connection scope,attachrefused); embedded / MCP usage; ad-hocPOST /rpccallers that neverattach.
Impact
For each attached and authenticated session, an unauthenticated attacker can read, write, and delete any data the session can reach, dump metadata, invalidate sessions, and escalate to that session's privilege level (up to root). An attached session that has not yet authenticated is Level::No and confers no privilege.
Patches
- HTTP
sessions()now returnsmethod_not_allowed. WebSocket retains per-connection enumeration. - The HTTP
/rpchandler gates client-supplied session IDs against the caller's request-level auth principal (actor id + level); mismatches returnsession_not_found. - Attached HTTP sessions are capped via
SURREAL_HTTP_MAX_ATTACHED_SESSIONS.
Versions 3.1.0 and later are not affected.
Workarounds
No configuration-level mitigation fully addresses this. For Users unable to upgrade:
- Avoid SDKs and client flows that call
attachagainst HTTP/rpc(notably the Rust SDK'sHttp/Httpsengine). Prefer the WebSocket transport, or REST endpoints (/sql,/signin,/key,/export) which never populate the attached-session map. - Restrict
/rpcto trusted clients at the network layer.

Mitigation
Invalidate any existing session identifiers prior to authorizing a new user session.
Mitigation
For platforms such as ASP that do not generate new values for sessionid cookies, utilize a secondary cookie. In this approach, set a secondary cookie on the user's browser to a random value and set a session variable to the same value. If the session variable and the cookie value ever don't match, invalidate the session, and force the user to log on again.
Mitigation MIT-29
Strategy: Firewall
Use an application firewall that can detect attacks against this weakness. It can be beneficial in cases in which the code cannot be fixed (because it is controlled by a third party), as an emergency prevention measure while more comprehensive software assurance measures are applied, or to provide defense in depth [REF-1481].
CAPEC-196: Session Credential Falsification through Forging
An attacker creates a false but functional session credential in order to gain or usurp access to a service. Session credentials allow users to identify themselves to a service after an initial authentication without needing to resend the authentication information (usually a username and password) with every message. If an attacker is able to forge valid session credentials they may be able to bypass authentication or piggy-back off some other authenticated user's session. This attack differs from Reuse of Session IDs and Session Sidejacking attacks in that in the latter attacks an attacker uses a previous or existing credential without modification while, in a forging attack, the attacker must create their own credential, although it may be based on previously observed credentials.
CAPEC-21: Exploitation of Trusted Identifiers
An adversary guesses, obtains, or "rides" a trusted identifier (e.g. session ID, resource ID, cookie, etc.) to perform authorized actions under the guise of an authenticated user or service.
CAPEC-31: Accessing/Intercepting/Modifying HTTP Cookies
This attack relies on the use of HTTP Cookies to store credentials, state information and other critical data on client systems. There are several different forms of this attack. The first form of this attack involves accessing HTTP Cookies to mine for potentially sensitive data contained therein. The second form involves intercepting this data as it is transmitted from client to server. This intercepted information is then used by the adversary to impersonate the remote user/session. The third form is when the cookie's content is modified by the adversary before it is sent back to the server. Here the adversary seeks to convince the target server to operate on this falsified information.
CAPEC-39: Manipulating Opaque Client-based Data Tokens
In circumstances where an application holds important data client-side in tokens (cookies, URLs, data files, and so forth) that data can be manipulated. If client or server-side application components reinterpret that data as authentication tokens or data (such as store item pricing or wallet information) then even opaquely manipulating that data may bear fruit for an Attacker. In this pattern an attacker undermines the assumption that client side tokens have been adequately protected from tampering through use of encryption or obfuscation.
CAPEC-59: Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.
CAPEC-60: Reusing Session IDs (aka Session Replay)
This attack targets the reuse of valid session ID to spoof the target system in order to gain privileges. The attacker tries to reuse a stolen session ID used previously during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking. Another name for this type of attack is Session Replay.
CAPEC-61: Session Fixation
The attacker induces a client to establish a session with the target software using a session identifier provided by the attacker. Once the user successfully authenticates to the target software, the attacker uses the (now privileged) session identifier in their own transactions. This attack leverages the fact that the target software either relies on client-generated session identifiers or maintains the same session identifiers after privilege elevation.
