CERT Vulnerability Note VU#192371 [cert.org] released this week describes a vulnerability due to insecure Cookie or Authentication Token storage (in memory or log files) of several common VPNs. The vulnerability allows attackers able to either access an endpoint, or exfiltrate data from it, to replay sessions bypassing other authentication methods, thus gaining access to any resources the user can access through the VPN session.

    CISCO - "will incorporate this feedback into discussions for future design improvements of the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Solution"
    F5 Networks, Inc - fixed it in version 12.1.3 and 13.1.0 and onwards
