Session Hijacking

Session hijacking allows attackers to impersonate a legitimate user by capturing, guessing, or abusing session tokens, cookies, or authentication artifacts. This may happen through XSS, insecure cookies, weak transport security, token leakage, malware, or poor session management. In enterprise applications, session hijacking can lead to account compromise, data exposure, unauthorized transactions, and privilege misuse.

Session Token Exposed → Attacker Reuses Token → User Session Taken Over → Account Actions Performed → Session Protection Enforced
