Technical Analysis

This vulnerability affects NeuVector versions before 5.6.1 and involves session management flaws during concurrent SSO login attempts using SAML or OIDC authentication. Specifically, it can cause session crossover where one authenticated user may receive another user's session, leading to potential unauthorized access.
