Summary

A vulnerability in the session management of the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) web-based GUI could allow an unauthenticated attacker to hijack valid user sessions. This issue arises because the system fails to generate a new session identifier after a user logs in. By exploiting this flaw, attackers can use a compromised session identifier to gain unauthorized access to the software.
