Hi guys,
before all thanks for this wondperfull product.
I'm preparing a website using ELXIS and submitting my site for know the level of security using Acunetix free service. I've got only one medium error related to "PHPSESSID session fixation" and a lot of other low level vulnerability.
This is the complete report:
PHPSESSID session fixation Medium 1
Application error message Low 21
Possible sensitive directories Low 9
TRACE Method Enabled Low 1
User credentials are sent in clear text Low 16
Email address found Informational 2
Password type input with autocomplete enabled Informational 19
I really would like to know what mean the "PHPSESSID session fixation" Medium vulnerability and if someone can explain me it better.
Thanks a lot for your help and answers.
Bye

It is almost imposibble for someone to hijack your session. Off course it is also a server/PHP settings issue, not just Elxis. Some servers add the PHPSESSID in the url, I think this is when you have open_basedir restriction in PHP. To hijack your session someone must first know your session. It is very-very-very-very-very difficult for this to be done.
Read this about session fixation:

All other alerts are nothing to worry about.
