Description
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.

Impact

Apache::Session versions through 1.94 re-create sessions that have been deleted, specifically when using the File or DB_File stores. This flaw can result in sessions being revived, potentially restoring data that was intended to be permanently removed. The weakness is classified as CWE‑672, indicating a failure to enforce proper deletion limits or finalization of session state, leading to continued access to unintended data.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Apache::Session from the CHORNY vendor, any installed version up to and including 1.94. The vulnerability occurs in all environments where the File or DB_File session stores are configured, such as web applications that rely on this Perl module for session management.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is < 1%, indicating a very low but nonzero exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting limited exploitation activity. The CVSS score is 9.1, indicating a high severity vulnerability. The attack vector is likely local or through web interfaces that instantiate Apache::Session, where an attacker could trigger the recreation of a deleted session and access residual data. Because the flaw involves a reinstatement of a previously removed state, exploitation would require the attacker to target systems that rely on these deprecated session stores.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Use a database store based on Apache::Session::Store::DBI.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Reconfigure the application to use Apache::Session::Store::DBI instead of Store::File or Store::DB_File to prevent accidental recreation of deleted sessions
  • Upgrade Apache::Session to a version newer than 1.94, if available, to apply vendor fixes for this issue
  • Implement monitoring or logging of session creation and deletion events to detect unexpected session resurrection activities
