What is CVE-2018-6009?

In versions of the Yii Framework prior to 2.0.14, the switchIdentity function found in web/User.php fails to regenerate the CSRF token when a user changes their identity. This oversight can lead to security breaches, as it allows for the user session to remain susceptible to cross-site request forgery attacks, thereby compromising user data and application integrity.
