CKAN is an open-source DMS for data hubs and portals. Prior to 2.10.9 and 2.11.4, session IDs could be fixed by an attacker if the site uses server-side session storage (CKAN uses cookie-based storage by default). The attacker would need to set a cookie on the victim's browser or steal a valid session. Session identifiers are now regenerated after each login.
