summary 
### Impact

The use of `Plug.Session` in `Pow.Plug.Session` is susceptible to session
fixation attacks if a persistent session store is used for `Plug.Session`,
such as Redis or a database. Cookie store, which is used in most Phoenix
apps, doesn't have this vulnerability.

### Workarounds

Call `Plug.Conn.configure_session(conn, renew: true)` periodically and after
privilege change. A custom authorization plug can be written where the
`create/3` method should return the conn only after
`Plug.Conn.configure_session/2` have been called on it.
