Technical details
The Touch web service endpoint in vtenext before 25.02.2 discloses the PHPSESSID value in a way that bypasses the HttpOnly flag protection. An attacker with the ability to execute JavaScript in the vtenext origin (via XSS or similar) can read this session token and use it to impersonate authenticated users. This is a post-XSS session hijacking vulnerability requiring a preceding script-injection vulnerability.
