## Technical details

A session fixation vulnerability exists in PHPGurukul Online Course Registration v3.1 within the /crm/change-password.php (also referenced as /onlinecourse/change-password.php) component. The application fails to properly invalidate or regenerate session identifiers during sensitive operations or authentication transitions. An attacker can pre-set a known session ID in a victim's browser; once the victim authenticates, the attacker can use the fixed session ID to gain unauthorized remote access to the account. This allows for full session hijacking and subsequent account takeover.
