CVE-2020-6302
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSAP Commerce versions 6.7, 1808, 1811, 1905, 2005 contains the jSession ID in the backoffice URL when the application is loaded initially. An attacker can get this session ID via shoulder surfing or man in the middle attack and subsequently get access to admin user accounts, leading to Session Fixation and complete compromise of the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the application.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceSAP Commerce exposes the jSessionID in backoffice URLs during initial application load, enabling session fixation attacks. Attackers can capture this URL-embedded session identifier through shoulder surfing or man-in-the-middle interception, then hijack admin sessions to gain full system access.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed SAP Commerce versionCheck the version of SAP Commerce installed in your environment - this is typically found in the system information, about page, or version file within the SAP Commerce installation directory (e.g., local.properties, version.info, or the backoffice login page footer).Affected if The installed version matches 6.7, 1808, 1811, 1905, or 2005.
-
Verify backoffice accessibilityAccess the SAP Commerce backoffice login page (typically at /backoffice/login or /hybris/backoffice) and navigate through the initial load sequence. Inspect the URLs in the browser address bar during navigation.Affected if The backoffice is accessible and URLs contain jSessionID parameters.
-
Inspect URL for jSessionID presenceUse browser developer tools (Network tab) or a proxy to capture requests during the initial backoffice load. Examine the request URLs and response redirects for the presence of jSessionID in the URL path or query string.Affected if jSessionID appears embedded in backoffice URLs rather than in HTTP cookies only.
-
Check session management configurationExamine the SAP Commerce configuration files (such as session handling or security-related properties in your local.properties or platform configuration) to determine if session tracking is configured to use cookies exclusively or if URL-rewriting is enabled.Affected if URL-rewriting or URL-encoded session tracking is enabled, or no explicit cookie-only session configuration is found.
You are affected if your SAP Commerce version is 6.7, 1808, 1811, 1905, or 2005 AND the backoffice exposes jSessionID in URLs rather than using cookie-only session management.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataConfigure SAP Commerce to use cookie-based session management instead of URL-embedded jSessionID, and implement session ID regeneration upon user authentication to prevent session fixation.
