Doc Type: ---
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Jetty that could allow a remote attacker to hijack a valid user's session due to a vulnerability in the "java.util.Random" class. When predictable naming patterns are used for session identifiers in Jetty, a remote attacker could hijack a victim's session and gain unauthorized access to the application.

Description TEJ RATHI 2023-04-18 14:03:14 UTC 
Jetty before 4.2.27, 5.1 before 5.1.12, 6.0 before 6.0.2, and 6.1 before 6.1.0pre3 generates predictable session identifiers using java.util.random, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess a session identifier through brute force attacks, bypass authentication requirements, and possibly conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.
