The SessionReaper attack is a new session-hijacking technique targeting Magento stores by stealing or replaying active user sessions. No passwords needed. No brute force. Just instant access.
If your store uses weak session configs, attackers can jump into customer accounts, place fake orders, or even access admin without logging in.
How SessionReaper Virus is Hitting Magento Stores:
- Unsecured session cookies
- Missing Secure / HttpOnly / SameSite flags
- Predictable session expiry
- Weak token rotation
- Unpatched Magento versions
The result? Fraud, data misuse, and serious reputation damage.
