An exploit could allow the attacker to take actions within the software with the privileges of the targeted user or gain access to sensitive information.

Vendor Advisory NVD

Weakness Type

What is a Session Riding Vulnerability?

The web application does not, or can not, sufficiently verify whether a well-formed, valid, consistent request was intentionally provided by the user who submitted the request. When a web server is designed to receive a request from a client without any mechanism for verifying that it was intentionally sent, then it might be possible for an attacker to trick a client into making an unintentional request to the web server which will be treated as an authentic request. This can be done via a URL, image load, XMLHttpRequest, etc. and can result in exposure of data or unintended code execution.

CVE-2018-15402 has been classified to as a Session Riding vulnerability or weakness.
