Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in CGI::Session, which may be exploited by attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information.
The first issue is due to errors in "Driver::file", "Driver::db_file", and "Driver::sqlite" that create session files in an insecure manner, which could be exploited by malicious users to disclose certain session information.
The second flaw is due to an error in "Driver::db_file" that creates the "cgisess.db" session file in the current directory, which could be exploited by attackers to disclose sensitive information (e.g. when "cgisess.db" is created in the webroot directory).
