Types ¶

type Module ¶

type Module struct {
	modkit.BaseActiveModule
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Module implements the Session Fixation active scanner.

func New ¶

func New() *Module

New creates a new Session Fixation module.

func (*Module) ScanPerRequest ¶

func (m *Module) ScanPerRequest(
	ctx *httpmsg.HttpRequestResponse,
	httpClient *http.Requester,
	scanCtx *modkit.ScanContext,
) ([]*output.ResultEvent, error)

ScanPerRequest tests whether the host explicitly adopts an attacker-chosen session value. Silence is not adoption: a server may ignore an unknown cookie and serve an anonymous response without issuing a replacement. We therefore require the server to Set-Cookie the exact supplied value on two independent probes. This is a candidate unless the observed request is itself a successful authentication transition, in which case preservation through login confirms the fixation condition.
