Session Fixation

An attack where the attacker sets a user's session ID to a known value, then waits for the user to authenticate.

How it works

An attack where the attacker sets a user's session ID to a known value, then waits for the user to authenticate.

In WordPress

WordPress regenerates session tokens on login, but custom auth plugins may not. Always call wp_set_auth_cookie() properly.
