Summary

CVE-2024-47945 is a session hijacking vulnerability affecting certain devices. The issue stems from insufficient entropy in the session ID generation algorithm, leading to only 32,768 possible values per user. This predictability makes it easy for attackers to pre-generate valid session IDs, resulting in unauthorized access to user sessions. The vulnerability is not only due to the use of an insecure rand() function call but also because of missing initialization via srand(), causing only Process IDs (PIDs) to be used as seeds.
