What is CVE-2018-14387?

CVE-2018-14387 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in n/a, published on 18 Jul 2018. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

An issue was discovered in WonderCMS before 2.5.2. An attacker can create a new session on a web application and record the associated session identifier. The attacker then causes the victim to authenticate against the server using the same session identifier. The attacker can access the user's account through the active session. The Session Fixation attack fixes a session on the victim's browser, so the attack starts before the user logs in.
