Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the application's failure to regenerate the session identifier upon successful authentication (the core defect in Agora Project before 26.10.0). The attacker must be able to fix/plant a known session identifier in the victim's browser before login (e.g., via a crafted link or a pre-set cookie), and the victim must then actively authenticate to that same session - this victim login is the required user interaction reflected by CVSS UI:A, and it is the primary factor limiting exploitation. The flaw applies to Agora Project versions prior to 26.10.0; upgrading to 26.10.0 (which also adds optional 2FA) remediates it. No attacker authentication or elevated privileges are required (PR:N).

Impact

This is a genuine but conditionally-exploitable risk rather than a drop-everything emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A) confirms a network-reachable flaw requiring no attacker privileges, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability of the vulnerable system (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) and no scope change to subsequent systems (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N), yielding a HIGH 8.6 score. The decisive limiting signal is UI:A: successful exploitation depends on the victim subsequently authenticating in a browser the attacker has already seeded with a known session identifier, so this is not a purely attacker-driven remote takeover. No EPSS score, SSVC decision, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so exploitation probability and automatability cannot be quantified here; absence of these is not evidence of safety but does lower immediate urgency. Net: prioritize patching for any internet-exposed Agora Project instance, but treat it as a session-fixation account-takeover requiring victim interaction, not as mass-automatable unauthenticated RCE. Confidentiality/integrity/availability impact (VC/VI/VA:H) is as rated by the source and should be verified against the privilege level of the hijacked account.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker seeds a victim's browser with a session identifier the attacker already knows (e.g., via a crafted link or injected cookie before the victim logs in). Because Agora Project before 26.10.0 fails to regenerate the session id on successful authentication, once the victim logs in the attacker reuses that fixed identifier to ride the now-authenticated session and act as the victim. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and the attack requires the victim to complete a login (CVSS UI:A).

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026

Session fixation in Omnispace Agora Project before 26.10.0 lets remote, unauthenticated attackers hijack a victim's authenticated session by planting a known session identifier in the victim's browser and waiting for them to log in, because the application does not regenerate the session ID after successful authentication. Exploitation hinges on victim interaction - the target must follow attacker-supplied content that sets a chosen identifier and then actively authenticate to that same session (CVSS UI:A), which is the primary factor limiting real-world abuse. No public exploit code has been identified and the flaw is not confirmed as actively exploited (CISA KEV), and the vendor has shipped 26.10.0 as the fixed release.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 26.10.0 - upgrade Agora Project installations to version 26.10.0, available from the release page at https://github.com/xech/agora-project/releases/tag/26.10, which is the definitive remediation for the missing session-ID regeneration; the vendor product page at https://www.agora-project.net/ and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/omnispace-agora-project-session-fixation-via-authentication provide supporting detail. If immediate upgrade is not possible, compensating controls should target the fixation precondition rather than generic hardening: deploy a reverse proxy or WAF rule that strips or rewrites inbound session cookies on the authentication endpoint so attackers cannot pre-set a known identifier, accepting the trade-off that misconfigured rules can break legitimate login flows and require regression testing; bind sessions server-side to a pre-authentication token and invalidate any session ID first observed before login, at the cost of custom development or middleware maintenance whenever the application is updated; and shorten session idle and absolute lifetimes to narrow the window between planting and victim login, with the trade-off of more frequent re-authentication for users. Enabling the optional two-factor authentication introduced in 26.10.0 is worthwhile as layered defense but does not substitute for the version upgrade, and monitoring should focus on session identifiers presented before login that later appear on authenticated requests.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The core defect is CWE-384, session fixation, a class of session-management error in which a web application accepts a session identifier chosen by an untrusted party and fails to rotate that identifier at a privilege boundary such as successful login. In this web-application context the attacker does not need credentials or prior access (the CVSS 4.0 vector scores PR:N with AV:N/AC:L/AT:N), only the ability to deliver a crafted link or cookie that fixes the victim's session identifier before authentication; after the victim logs in, the identifier the attacker already knows remains valid and maps to the victim's authenticated context, yielding high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact within the vulnerable component with scope unchanged (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N). The independent assessment aligns on the prerequisites: the failure to regenerate the session ID prior to 26.10.0, an attacker-planted identifier, and a subsequent victim login. The 26.10.0 release that remediates the flaw also introduces an optional two-factor authentication feature, which adds defense in depth against credential-driven theft but is not itself the fix for identifier fixation - session-ID rotation at authentication is the required control.

DescriptionCVE.org

Omnispace Agora Project before 26.10.0 contains a session fixation vulnerability that allows remote attackers to hijack authenticated sessions by planting a known session identifier in a victim's browser prior to login. Attackers can exploit the application's failure to regenerate the session id upon successful authentication to gain unauthorized access to the victim's authenticated session after they log in.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The Omnispace Agora Project (all releases before 26.10.0) contains a session-handling flaw that lets an attacker seize an authenticated user's session and operate with that user's identity and privileges. Exploitation depends on a victim both opening attacker-supplied content and then logging in, so broad opportunistic campaigns are unlikely, but a targeted effort against a handful of privileged accounts remains realistic. The vendor has already shipped a fixed release, so the organization's exposure is essentially the gap between now and completion of patching.
