The FileStore capability in CGI::Session for Ruby before 1.8.1, and possibly PStore, creates files with insecure permissions, which can allow local users to steal session information and hijack sessions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Ruby CGI::Session FileStore versions created session files with unsafe permissions. A local user on the same system could read session data and potentially hijack web sessions. This is mainly a legacy-host risk, not a remotely exploitable internet-facing flaw based on the supplied evidence. Exposure is most likely on legacy Ruby web applications using CGI::Session FileStore, especially shared servers with multiple local users. PStore exposure is uncertain because the CVE states it is only possibly affected. Prioritize remediation for legacy shared hosting or multi-user systems running old Ruby session handling. For isolated modern systems, urgency is lower but inventory should confirm no vulnerable deployment remains. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Ruby CGI::Session to 1.8.1 or vendor-fixed packages.; Review Debian, Mandriva, or Gentoo advisories if using those distributions.; Restrict local user access on affected shared hosts..
