F5 ASM Vulnerabilities

we did Pen Testing on our website which is behind F5 WAF last week & found the below vulnerabilities , How to prevent it using F5 WAF :

 

Session Fixation Vulnerability : the web application doesn’t validate the session IDs and, also doesn’t assign a different session ID when authenticating a user. An attacker could craft a custom session id and make the victim’s browser use it for the application authentication. The attacker could then hijack the user-validated session by the knowledge of the used session ID.

 

Session Hijacking Vulnerability:

 

the web application is vulnerable to session hijacking attacks. An attacker could capture a valid user’s session id and URL information to gain the same level of access to information and privileges as that of the user.

 

Simultaneous Session Logon :

 

the applications allow simultaneous logons for the same user, from same client IP address. User Session on a particular system will not terminate if any one of the session/browser is open. A malicious user who has physical access to the system could gain access to an already active session and perform actions as a legitimate user.
