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 · unedited
Session Fixation vulnerability in Oceanic Software ValeApp allows Brute Force, Session Hijacking. This issue affects ValeApp: before v2.0.0.

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 confidence

Session fixation vulnerability in ValeApp allows attackers to set or predict session IDs before user authentication, enabling subsequent session hijacking. The issue also facilitates brute force attacks, likely due to insufficient session ID entropy or failure to regenerate session IDs upon login. This enables attackers to hijack authenticated user sessions.

MitigationUpgrade to ValeApp v2.0.0 or later which should contain proper session ID regeneration on authentication and secure session management. If upgrade is not possible, implement session ID regeneration upon login and ensure adequate session ID randomness.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Valeapp version
    Locate the Valeapp installation and check the version file or application metadata (often found in version.php, package.json, or the admin dashboard about page)
    Affected if version is below 2.0.0 (e.g., 1.x.x)
  2. Verify session ID regeneration after login
    Log into Valeapp with a known session ID, then log out and log in again. Compare the session ID before and after authentication using application logs or browser developer tools
    Affected if session ID remains the same before and after successful login (session is NOT regenerated)
  3. Check for session invalidation on login
    After authenticating, attempt to use a previously known session ID that was created before login to access the authenticated session
    Affected if old pre-login session ID still grants access after authentication (session fixation is possible)
  4. Inspect session configuration
    Review Valeapp configuration files for session management settings, looking for session.regenerate or session.invalidate_on_login parameters
    Affected if no session regeneration or invalidation settings are present or enabled

User is affected if running Valeapp version below 2.0.0 AND session IDs are not regenerated after successful authentication.

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.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 2.0.0 or later
Fixed in 2.0.0
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to ValeApp v2.0.0 or later which should contain proper session ID regeneration on authentication and secure session management. If upgrade is not possible, implement session ID regeneration upon login and ensure adequate session ID randomness.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

ValeApp v2.0.0

  1. Verify current ValeApp version by checking the application or its configuration files
  2. Backup all application data, configurations, and session-related data
  3. Download ValeApp version 2.0.0 from the official vendor source or trusted repository
  4. Stop the currently running ValeApp service
  5. Install or deploy ValeApp version 2.0.0 following the vendor's installation documentation
  6. Restart the ValeApp service
  7. Verify that the application is running correctly and sessions are being managed securely
  8. Test that authentication and session management work as expected
