Coldfusion 10 cfid cftoken problem


after uninstalling coldfusion 9 , installing coldfusion 10 our clients have started

calling saying system logs them out. session expires , gets fixed if they

clean cookies assume previous cfid , cftoken stored in client side

from cf 9 generating conflict cf 10.

can problem? 

i'm guessing not running cf9 of security hotixes, or have seen earlier.

 

cf9, prior security hotfix 2 (i believe), create new session if cookies passed session didn't exist. unfortunately, used passed session tokens instead of creating new ones. known session fixation vulnerability. if client tries pass cookies session not exist, new session still created , new cookies set.

 

you should not count on session cookies existing , reinflating old session keep users logged in extended periods of time. if want "remember me" functionality, should implement in secure way, not in way work compromised session tokens.
