Issue

  • Is session guessing attacks or accidental session collision a concern on EAP 6?
  • Let's say user1 logs in and then their session times out, but he leaves his browser open. Then user2 logs in after this and gets a sessionid; could user2 get user1's old sessionid? And then if user1 becomes active again, could he see user2's session data?
  • Or could a malicious user easily guess a valid in use session id?

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6.x
