AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, users should consider implementing manual session renewal upon authentication to mitigate session fixation risks. Avoid relying on the affected versions without additional session management controls.

Description

CVE-2026-86688 is a session fixation vulnerability in the team-alembic ash_authentication library. The flaw allows an attacker who can plant a session identifier in a victim's browser to maintain an authenticated session after the victim logs in. This occurs because the library writes the authenticated subject into the existing session without renewing the session identifier, allowing the original identifier to persist through login and logout cycles. This affects versions from 0.2.0 up to but not including 4.15.0, and from 5.0.0-rc.0 up to but not including 5.0.0-rc.14.
