CVE-2026-47234

Admidio writes session IDs and auto-login cookie values to application logs

4.4 MediumFix available

Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.10, when debug logging is enabled, Session::setCookie() logs full cookie values and Session::start() logs the current session ID. In a real Admidio deployment this includes both the active session cookie and the persistent auto-login cookie. Anyone with access to the log sink can recover live bearer-style credentials from the logs. Version 5.0.10 contains a fix.

Vulnerable Code

// src/Session/Entity/Session.php
$gLogger->info('Set Cookie!', array(
'name' => $name,
'value' => $value,
'expire' => $expire,
'path' => $path,
'domain' => $domain,

'domain' => $domain,
'secure' => $secure,
'httpOnly' => $httpOnly,
'sameSite' => 'lax',
'sessionId' => session_id()
));

What Does The Code Mean

Every time Admidio sets a cookie, it writes the raw cookie value to the application log. When a session starts, it writes the active session identifier too.

Why The Code Is Vulnerable

Session IDs and persistent auto-login values are credentials. Logging them turns the log file into a credential store and expands the trust boundary to anyone who can read logs, backups, or external log aggregation outputs.

Verification Environment

  • Application: Admidio v5.0.9
  • Runtime: Dockerized Admidio + MariaDB on http://localhost:18080
  • Validation mode: real deployed application, not isolated unit tests

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Enable Admidio debug logging.
  2. Log in with auto_login=1 enabled.
  3. Inspect the generated application log.
  4. Observe that the log contains both the ADMIDIO_*_AUTO_LOGIN_ID value and the ADMIDIO_*_SESSION_ID value in cleartext.
