CVE-2026-47234

CVE-2026-47234 is a medium-severity security vulnerability in admidio/admidio (composer), affecting versions <= 5.0.9. It is fixed in 5.0.10.

Summary

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.

Vulnerable Code

// src/Session/Entity/Session.php
$gLogger->info('Set Cookie!', array(
'name' => $name,
'value' => $value,
'expire' => $expire,
'path' => $path,
'domain' => $domain,
'secure' => $secure,
'httpOnly' => $httpOnly,
'sameSite' => 'lax'
));
...
session_start();
$gLogger->info('Session Started!', array(
'name' => $sessionName,
'limit' => $limit,
'path' => $path,
'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.

PoC Script

from helpers import login, new_session, save_json


def main():
session = new_session()
result = login(session, "admin", "AdminPass123!", auto_login=True)
save_json("session_logging_login.json", result)


if __name__ == "__main__":

Remediation And Suggestions

Never log raw session identifiers or cookie values. Replace them with fixed labels or redact most of the value before logging.

$gLogger->info('Set Cookie!', [
'name' => $name,
'value' => '[redacted]',
'expire' => $expire,
'path' => $path,
'domain' => $domain,
'secure' => $secure,
'httpOnly' => $httpOnly,
'sameSite' => 'lax',
]);

$gLogger->info('Session Started!', [
'name' => $sessionName,
'limit' => $limit,
'path' => $path,
'domain' => $domain,
'secure' => $secure,
'httpOnly' => $httpOnly,
'sameSite' => 'lax',
'sessionId' => '[redacted]',
]);

Impact

Any actor with log access can replay or abuse current session IDs and auto-login cookies, leading to session hijacking or long-lived account access depending on deployment and cookie lifetime.

CVE-2026-47234 has a CVSS score of 4.4 (Medium). The vector is requires local access, high privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (5.0.10); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Affected versions

admidio/admidio (<= 5.0.9)

Security releases

admidio/admidio → 5.0.10 (composer)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is CVE-2026-47234? CVE-2026-47234 is a medium-severity security vulnerability in admidio/admidio (composer), affecting versions <= 5.0.9. It is fixed in 5.0.10.
  2. How severe is CVE-2026-47234? CVE-2026-47234 has a CVSS score of 4.4 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
  3. Which versions of admidio/admidio are affected by CVE-2026-47234? admidio/admidio (composer) versions <= 5.0.9 is affected.
  4. Is there a fix for CVE-2026-47234? Yes. CVE-2026-47234 is fixed in 5.0.10. Upgrade to this version or later.
  5. Is CVE-2026-47234 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2026-47234 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

  6. What actually determines whether CVE-2026-47234 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
  7. How do I fix CVE-2026-47234? Upgrade admidio/admidio to 5.0.10 or later.
