Cookie store, which is used in most Phoenix\napps, doesn't have this vulnerability.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nCall `Plug.Conn.configure_session(conn, renew: true)` periodically and after\nprivilege change. A custom authorization plug can be written where the\n`create/3` method should return the conn only after\n`Plug.Conn.configure_session/2` have been called on it.\n\n### References\n\nhttps://github.com/danschultzer/pow/commit/578ffd3d8bb8e8a26077b644222186b108da474f\nhttps://www.owasp.org/index.php/Session_fixation", "references": [ { "reference_url": "https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2020-5205", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "0.00302", "scoring_system": "epss", "scoring_elements": "0.53968", "published_at": "2026-06-11T12:55:00Z" }, { "value": "0.00302", "scoring_system": "epss", "scoring_elements": "0.54094", "published_at": "2026-06-12T12:55:00Z" }, { "value": "0.00302", "scoring_system": "epss", "scoring_elements": "0.54112", "published_at": "2026-06-13T12:55:00Z" }, { "value": "0.00302", "scoring_system": "epss", "scoring_elements": "0.54098", "published_at": "2026-06-14T12:55:00Z" } ], "url": "https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2020-5205" }, { "reference_url": "https://github.com/danschultzer/pow", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.5", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://github.com/danschultzer/pow" }, { "reference_url": "https://github.com/danschultzer/pow/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v1016-2020-01-07", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.5", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://github.com/danschultzer/pow/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v1016-2020-01-07" }, { "reference_url": "https://github.com/danschultzer/pow/commit/578ffd3d8bb8e8a26077b644222186b108da474f", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.5", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://github.com/danschultzer/pow/commit/578ffd3d8bb8e8a26077b644222186b108da474f" }, { "reference_url": "https://github.com/danschultzer/pow/security/advisories/GHSA-v2wf-c3j6-wpvw", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.5", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://github.com/danschultzer/pow/security/advisories/GHSA-v2wf-c3j6-wpvw" }, { "reference_url": "https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-5205", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.5", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-5205" } ], "fixed_packages": [ { "url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/api/packages/383816?format=api", "purl": "pkg:hex/pow@1.0.16", "is_vulnerable": false, "affected_by_vulnerabilities": [], "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/packages/pkg:hex/pow@1.0.16" } ], "aliases": [ "CVE-2020-5205", "GHSA-v2wf-c3j6-wpvw" ], "risk_score": 3.1, "exploitability": "0.5", "weighted_severity": "6.2", "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/vulnerabilities/VCID-fwsz-6xmd-aygy" } ], "fixing_vulnerabilities": [], "risk_score": "3.1", "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/packages/pkg:hex/pow@0.1.0-alpha.4" }
