Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper session management during the SAML login flow. The commit diff shows the patched version added a 'recreateSession()'
call in doFinishLogin
to invalidate the previous session. The unpatched doFinishLogin
lacked this critical session invalidation step, making it possible to reuse a compromised session ID after authentication. This matches the CWE-384 (Session Fixation) description and the advisory's explanation that pre-authentication sessions weren't properly invalidated.
