AI Insight

LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.

Session fixation in MOXA NPort IAW5000A-I/O web server (firmware ≤2.1) allows attackers to hijack user sessions by stealing cookies.

Vulnerability

The built-in WEB server in MOXA NPort IAW5000A-I/O firmware version 2.1 or lower suffers from session fixation (CWE-384). The server incorrectly implements protections against session fixation, allowing an attacker to set a predetermined session ID and later hijack the session by stealing the user's cookies [1].

Exploitation

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low skill level. The attacker must trick a user into authenticating with a session ID controlled by the attacker, then steal the user's cookies to hijack the session. No authentication is required for the initial attack, but user interaction is needed [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation allows the attacker to gain access to and hijack the user's session, leading to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The CVSS v3 base score is 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) [1].

Mitigation

Not yet disclosed in the available references. Users should monitor the vendor's security advisories for firmware updates or workarounds [1].
