Summary
SolarWinds Serv-U MFT before 15.1.6 HFv1 assigns authenticated users a low-entropy session token that can be included in requests to the application as a URL parameter in lieu of a session cookie. This session token's value can be brute-forced by an attacker to obtain the corresponding session cookie and hijack the user's session.
