6.8
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
EMC RSA Access Manager Server 6.x before 6.1 SP4 and RSA Access Manager Agent do not properly validate session tokens after a logout, which might allow remote attackers to conduct replay attacks via unspecified vectors.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2012-2281 requires adjacent network access, limiting remote exploitation but still posing risk in shared or local network environments.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-287): Authentication bypass vulnerabilities allow attackers to access protected resources without valid credentials.
