Overview

io.ratpack:ratpack-session is a that allows supports for HTTP sessions within Ratpack applications.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Randomness. The client-side session module by default uses the application startup time as the signing key. If an attacker can determine this time, and if encryption is not used (which is recommended but not implemented by default), the session data could be tampered with by someone with the ability to write cookies.
