CVE-2025-27794

Date: March 12, 2025

Flarum is open-source forum software. A session hijacking vulnerability exists in versions prior to 1.8.10 when an attacker-controlled authoritative subdomain under a parent domain (e.g., "subdomain.host.com") sets cookies scoped to the parent domain (".host.com"). This allows session token replacement for applications hosted on sibling subdomains (e.g., "community.host.com") if session tokens aren't rotated post-authentication. Key Constraints are that the attacker must control any subdomain under the parent domain (e.g., "evil.host.com" or "x.y.host.com"), and the parent domain must not be on the Public Suffix List. Due to non-existent session token rotation after authenticating we can theoretically reproduce the vulnerability by using browser dev tools, but due to the browser's security measures this does not seem to be exploitable as described. Version 1.8.10 contains a patch for the issue.
