Tiago Ferreira Barbosa reopened AXIS2-4739:
-------------------------------------------
Even if the xss has been corrected, the problem of session fixation is still
there because they are different problems.
The fact that there is no attack vector does not mean it is not vulnerable

> Apache Axis2 Session Fixation
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: AXIS2-4739
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4739
> Project: Axis2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1, 1.5, 1.4.1
> Environment: Tested on Linux Ubuntu & Debian. Other distributions may
> be vulnerable.
> Reporter: Tiago Ferreira Barbosa
> Assignee: Glen Daniels
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.6, nightly
>
>
> We have found a Session Fixation Vulnerability in administrative interface of
> Apache Axis2. When successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows to
> fixate a session Cookie in the browser of the victim, this way it's possible
> to perform session hijacking attacks.
> The vulnerability was found in the administrative interface of Axis2. By
> default, it is accessible at the path /axis2/axis2-admin. To exploit this
> flaw, we used a Cross Site Script in existing Axis2
> (http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/12721/).
> Code Snippet:
> http://example:8080/axis2/axis2-admin/engagingglobally?submit=%2bEngage
> 2b&modules=<script>document.cookie="JSESSIONID=C958373831119190D2DC7838BA177980.tomcat1;
>
> Path=/axis2";document.location="http://example:8080/axis2/axis2-admin/";</script>
> The above code when run on the victim's browser, fixates the session cookie
> sent by the attacker to it.
> To protect against session fixation, the HTTP session must be invalidated and
> recreated on login, giving the user a new session id.
