Product:               Seapine TestTrack Pro
Vulnerable versions:   2010.x, 2011.x
Vulnerability:         predictable session cookies
Vendor informed:       2010-09-07
Fix available:         no

Info:
TestTrack Pro is an issue tracking application from Seapine

Vulnerability:
TestTrack Pro offers a SOAP interface which works as follows:
- connect with username and password to retrieve a list of available
  projects: getProjectList(username, password);
- connect with username and passsword to retrieve a session login cookie
  on a project: projectLogon(project, username, password);
- query the system to retrieve project data using the session login
  cookie to authenticate: getRecordListForTable (cookie, .....);
- log off the session: databaseLogoff(cookie).

The session login cookies generated by the server are predictable. Below
is a log file from the connections showing the date and time of a log
entry, and then the cookie used for authentication:
"09/07/10","11:18:19","1246111"
"09/07/10","11:18:22","1246115"
"09/07/10","11:18:44","1246123"
"09/07/10","11:18:46","1246127"
"09/07/10","11:18:51","1246132"
"09/07/10","11:18:53","1246139"
"09/07/10","11:19:16","1246144"
"09/07/10","11:19:18","1246151"
"09/07/10","11:19:33","1246156"
"09/07/10","11:19:35","1246163"
"09/07/10","11:19:51","1246167"
"09/07/10","11:19:53","1246175"

The absolute value of the session cookie is related to the server
uptime, starting near 0 when the server is just started and increasing
monotonic afterwards.
