Title
Fiber Session Middleware Token Injection Vulnerability
Summary
Fiber is an Express-inspired web framework written in Go A vulnerability present in versions prior to 2.52.5 is a session middleware issue in GoFiber versions 2 and above. 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. All users utilizing GoFiber's session middleware in the affected versions are impacted. The issue has been addressed in version 2.52.5. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to version 2.52.5 or higher to mitigate this vulnerability. Users who are unable to upgrade immediately can apply the following workarounds to reduce the risk: Either implement additional validation to ensure session IDs are not supplied by the user and are securely generated by the server, or regularly rotate session IDs and enforce strict session expiration policies.

Una vulnerabilidad presente en versiones anteriores a la 2.52.5 es un problema de middleware de sesi\u00f3n en las versiones 2 y superiores de GoFiber. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a los usuarios proporcionar su propio valor session_id, lo que da como resultado la creaci\u00f3n de una sesi\u00f3n con esa clave. Si un sitio web depende de la mera presencia de una sesi\u00f3n por motivos de seguridad, esto puede generar importantes riesgos de seguridad, incluido el acceso no autorizado y ataques de fijaci\u00f3n de sesi\u00f3n. Todos los usuarios que utilizan el middleware de sesi\u00f3n de GoFiber en las versiones afectadas se ven afectados. El problema se solucion\u00f3 en la versi\u00f3n 2.52.5. Se recomienda encarecidamente a los usuarios que actualicen a la versi\u00f3n 2.52.5 o superior para mitigar esta vulnerabilidad. Los usuarios que no puedan actualizar inmediatamente pueden aplicar las siguientes soluciones para reducir el riesgo: implementar una validaci\u00f3n adicional para garantizar que los ID de sesi\u00f3n no sean proporcionados por el usuario y sean generados de forma segura por el servidor, o rotar peri\u00f3dicamente los ID de sesi\u00f3n y aplicar pol\u00edticas estrictas de caducidad de sesi\u00f3n."

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. All users utilizing GoFiber\u0027s session middleware in the affected versions are impacted. The issue has been addressed in version 2.52.5. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to version 2.52.5 or higher to mitigate this vulnerability. Users who are unable to upgrade immediately can apply the following workarounds to reduce the risk: Either implement additional validation to ensure session IDs are not supplied by the user and are securely generated by the server, or regularly rotate session IDs and enforce strict session expiration policies."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Sightings

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
