How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability originates from the insufficient session expiration in Sitefinity, which under certain specific and uncommon circumstances, allows Session IDs to be reused, leading to Session Replay Attacks. An attacker may capture and reuse a session ID to masquerade as an authenticated user, thus bypassing security measures and gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data or systems.

Conceptual Example Code

Here’s a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited:

GET /vulnerable/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Cookie: SESSIONID=ABC123

In this example, the attacker has obtained and used the “ABC123” Session ID, allowing them to make requests as if they were the authenticated user associated with that Session ID.
