Technical details

A session management vulnerability (CWE-613) exists in PHPGurukul Car Rental Project v3.0 within the update-password.php component. The application fails to properly invalidate or rotate session identifiers upon sensitive actions like password updates. An attacker can exploit this by fixing or capturing a session ID; if a victim authenticates or continues using the application under that ID, the attacker maintains access even after credentials have been changed. This requires some user interaction (UI:R) to establish the initial session state but allows for high confidentiality impact through session hijacking.
