CVE-2024-56733

Summary

CVE-2024-56733 is a vulnerability in Password Pusher, an open-source application used to share sensitive information. Versions 1.50.3 and older contain a weakness, allowing attackers to capture session cookies before a user logs out. Even though the token is replaced and invalidated upon logout, if an attacker obtains the cookie before this occurs, they can exploit it to gain unauthorized access to the user's session. This vulnerability can be exploited via man-in-the-middle attacks, XSS exploits, or direct access to the victim's device. Although no direct resolution exists, updating to the latest Password Pusher version and hosting it exclusively over SSL connections can help mitigate risk. Ensuring strong local security practices is also crucial to safeguard user systems, browsers, and data.
