CVE-2024-52801: sftpgo vulnerable to brute force takeover of OpenID Connect session cookies

December 2, 2024

The OpenID Connect implementation, in the affected SFTPGo versions, allows authenticated users to brute force session cookies and thereby gain access to other users’ data, since the cookies are generated predictably using the xid library and are therefore unique but not cryptographically secure.
