ajaxterm.js in AjaxTerm 0.10 and earlier generates session IDs with predictable random numbers based on certain JavaScript functions, which makes it easier for remote attackers to (1) hijack a session or (2) cause a denial of service (session ID exhaustion) via a brute-force attack.

Security readout for executives and security teams

AjaxTerm 0.10 and earlier can create session IDs that are easier to guess than they should be. If an exposed AjaxTerm service is still in use, an attacker may hijack a user session or disrupt service by exhausting session IDs. Exposure is most likely in legacy systems still running AjaxTerm 0.10 or earlier, especially where the service is reachable from untrusted networks. Modern environments are unlikely to be affected unless this old web terminal component remains deployed. Treat as a targeted legacy exposure issue. It is not supported by KEV evidence, but any internet-facing AjaxTerm deployment could create session takeover and availability risk. Prioritize finding and restricting or removing affected instances. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for AjaxTerm 0.10 or earlier.; Restrict AjaxTerm access to trusted networks or VPN-only paths.; Check upstream, oCERT, Fedora, and distro guidance for fixed packages..
