ASP.NET's includes a powerful mechanism for detailed request tracing called Trace.axd. The Trace.axd application keeps a very detailed log of all requests made to an application over a period of time but it can also be used by attackers to gain information about requests and responses to the application.
An attacker can obtain information such as:
- Session cookies
- Session state
- Query string and post variables
- Physical path of the requested file
This means that the attacker can hijack any active user's session by using their session details.
