Title
Apache::Session versions through 1.94 for Perl re-creates deleted sessions
Summary
Apache::Session versions through 1.94 for Perl re-creates deleted sessions.
The session stores Apache::Session::Store::File and Apache::Session::Store::DB_File will create a session that does not exist. This can lead to sessions being revived, potentially with data that was to be deleted.

CVE-2026-5081 (GCVE-0-2026-5081)

Title
Apache::Session::Generate::ModUniqueId versions from 1.54 through 1.94 for Perl session ids are insecure
Summary
Apache::Session::Generate::ModUniqueId versions from 1.54 through 1.94 for Perl session ids are insecure.
Apache::Session::Generate::ModUniqueId (added in version 1.54) uses the value of the UNIQUE_ID environment variable for the session id. The UNIQUE_ID variable is set by the Apache mod_unique_id plugin, which generates unique ids for the request. The id is based on the IPv4 address, the process id, the epoch time, a 16-bit counter and a thread index, with no obfuscation.
The server IP is often available to the public, and if not available, can be guessed from previous session ids being issued. The process ids may also be guessed from previous session ids. The timestamp is easily guessed (and leaked in the HTTP Date response header).
The purpose of mod_unique_id is to assign a unique id to requests so that events can be correlated in different logs. The id is not designed, nor is it suitable for security purposes.

This module uses the Apache mod_unique_id plugin\u0027s UNIQUE_ID environment variable directly as a session ID. The UNIQUE_ID is constructed from easily guessable information, such as the server\u0027s IP address, process ID, and timestamp, without sufficient randomness or obfuscation. This predictability allows a remote attacker to potentially guess valid session IDs, which could lead to session hijacking and unauthorized access to user accounts or sensitive information."

CVE-2025-40931 (GCVE-0-2025-40931)

Title
Apache::Session::Generate::MD5 versions through 1.94 for Perl create insecure session id
Summary
Apache::Session::Generate::MD5 versions through 1.94 for Perl create insecure session id.
Apache::Session::Generate::MD5 generates session ids insecurely. The default session id generator returns a MD5 hash seeded with the built-in rand() function, the epoch time, and the PID. The PID will come from a small set of numbers, and the epoch time may be guessed, if it is not leaked from the HTTP Date header. The built-in rand function is unsuitable for cryptographic usage. Predicable session ids could allow an attacker to gain access to systems.
Note that the libapache-session-perl package in some Debian-based Linux distributions may be patched to use Crypt::URandom.

Title
Apache::Session versions through 1.94 for Perl re-creates deleted sessions
Summary
Apache::Session versions through 1.94 for Perl re-creates deleted sessions.
The session stores Apache::Session::Store::File and Apache::Session::Store::DB_File will create a session that does not exist. This can lead to sessions being revived, potentially with data that was to be deleted.

Title
Apache::Session::Generate::ModUniqueId versions from 1.54 through 1.94 for Perl session ids are insecure
Summary
Apache::Session::Generate::ModUniqueId versions from 1.54 through 1.94 for Perl session ids are insecure.
Apache::Session::Generate::ModUniqueId (added in version 1.54) uses the value of the UNIQUE_ID environment variable for the session id. The UNIQUE_ID variable is set by the Apache mod_unique_id plugin, which generates unique ids for the request. The id is based on the IPv4 address, the process id, the epoch time, a 16-bit counter and a thread index, with no obfuscation.
The server IP is often available to the public, and if not available, can be guessed from previous session ids being issued. The process ids may also be guessed from previous session ids. The timestamp is easily guessed (and leaked in the HTTP Date response header).
The purpose of mod_unique_id is to assign a unique id to requests so that events can be correlated in different logs. The id is not designed, nor is it suitable for security purposes.

Title
Apache::Session::Generate::MD5 versions through 1.94 for Perl create insecure session id
Summary
Apache::Session::Generate::MD5 versions through 1.94 for Perl create insecure session id.
Apache::Session::Generate::MD5 generates session ids insecurely. The default session id generator returns a MD5 hash seeded with the built-in rand() function, the epoch time, and the PID. The PID will come from a small set of numbers, and the epoch time may be guessed, if it is not leaked from the HTTP Date header. The built-in rand function is unsuitable for cryptographic usage. Predicable session ids could allow an attacker to gain access to systems.
Note that the libapache-session-perl package in some Debian-based Linux distributions may be patched to use Crypt::URandom.
