CVE-2026-38968

Published Jul 2, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.8 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
ntopng through 6.6 is vulnerable to Predictable Session Identifier which can lead to Session Hijacking. HTTP session identifiers in src/HTTPserver.cpp use weak time-seeded pseudo-randomness during session creation. As a result, fresh authenticated logins can receive deterministic or colliding session cookies under attacker-controlled timing.
