CVE-2024-38513 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/session to version 2.52.5 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Session Fixation through the session middleware component.
This vulnerability allows users to supply their own session_id value, resulting in the creation of a session with that key. If a website relies on the mere presence of a session for security purposes, this can lead to significant security risks, including unauthorized access and session fixation attacks.
Workaround
Users who are unable to upgrade immediately can apply the following workarounds to reduce the risk:
Validate Session IDs: Implement additional validation to ensure session IDs are not supplied by the user and are securely generated by the server.
Session Management: Regularly rotate session IDs and enforce strict session expiration policies
