CVE-2025-64100: CKAN vulnerable to fixed session IDs

October 29, 2025

Session ids could be fixed by an attacker if the site is configured with server-side session storage (CKAN uses cookie-based session storage by default). The attacker would need to either set a cookie on the victim’s browser or steal the victim’s currently valid session. Session identifiers are now regenerated after each login.
