[SOLVED] A small concern on Session variables


dragunu

Recommended Posts

hello ,

 

I was just wondering, is it possible for a third party to manipulate your Session variables while ure in a session?

 

I know that you SID can be hijacked thru header modification if someone knows ur session ID, therefore that is counteracted by regenerating session id's, but i am wondering if the actual session variables can be manipulated or not.

 

I think that they cannot since they are set on the server itself but still i wanted some reassurance:)

 

thanks

william

only via the server.. so not direct from the user..

 

UNLESS

the sessions are stored in the tmp folder resideing in the webshared folder!

 

i see so to stay safe is to set the session save path in your home directory.
