Session fixation vulnerability in the forgot password mechanism in Revive Adserver before 4.0.1, when setting a new password, allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions via the session ID.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
