Technical summary

QuickCMS fails to regenerate session identifiers upon successful authentication, allowing attackers who can fix a victim's session ID prior to login to hijack the authenticated session. The vulnerability stems from accepting externally-supplied session identifiers before authentication and failing to issue new session tokens post-authentication. CVSS 4.0 score of 4.8 reflects local attack vector with user interaction required. Patch available since 2026-05-15 for version 6.8.
