Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

IIS versions 4.0 and 5.0 have an issue with session cookies being sent identically for both secure and insecure web sessions. This could allow remote attackers to hijack a user's secure session if that user switches to an insecure session.

Risk Assessment

The organization may be exposed to session hijacking, leading to potential data leaks and privacy violations. Attackers could gain access to sensitive user information.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of IIS that addresses session cookie management. Additionally, consider implementing extra security measures for user sessions.

Original NVD description (English source)

IIS 4.0 and 5.0 .ASP pages send the same Session ID cookie for secure and insecure web sessions, which could allow remote attackers to hijack the secure web session of the user if that user moves to an insecure session, aka the "Session ID Cookie Marking" vulnerability.
