Overview
org.springframework.security:spring-security-web is a package within Spring Security that provides security services for the Spring IO Platform.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Session Fixation due to the logout functionality not properly clearing the security context when using serialized versions. Additionally, it is not possible to explicitly save an empty security context to the HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository. This allows users to stay authenticated after a logout.
NOTE: Applications are only vulnerable if any of the following conditions are true:
The
SecurityContextHolderFilterorrequireExplicitSave(true)is in use with logout support for serialized sessions, andinvalidateHttpSession(false).Users are logged out manually by saving an empty
SecurityContextinto theHttpSessionSecurityContextRepository.A custom
SecurityContextRepositoryis in use that does not rely on theHttpSession.
