CVE-2026-61592: djust: SSE sessions are not bound to the authenticated user; the client-chosen session_id is the sole authorization capability (session hijack)

GitHub Advisories · officialPublished Sep 16, 2026Risk 37/100

### Impact SSE sessions were keyed solely by a **client-chosen** `session_id` with no binding to the authenticated user — a control the WebSocket transport has but that was dropped on SSE. An attacker who learns (or a victim who leaks) a `session_id` could connect to the message endpoint and dispatch event handlers that execute with the **victim's identity and state**. ### Patches Fixed in **djust 1.0.7**. Each SSE session is bound to its owning principal at creation and cross-principal access is rejected; SSE session creation is additionally capped per principal. ### Workarounds Disable the SSE transport short of upgrading.

Upgrade affected packages to a patched version: djust 1.0.7.
