What is CVE-2018-1485?

The IBM BigFix Platform versions 9.2.0 to 9.2.14 and 9.5 to 9.5.9 are susceptible to a session fixation vulnerability. This issue arises due to the failure to renew session variables after successful authentication, allowing attackers to potentially exploit known session cookies. As a result, users may inadvertently be forced to use a session cookie that an attacker controls, which could lead to unauthorized access.
