Hi Holger,

An attacker having a valid client certificate will most probably be
able to perform session hijacking on most or all current-day web
applications. This stems from the fact that for each session, the
private certificate must be validated; which will not be the case for
most current-day 2FA systems.


do you mean web session, as yes this is very possible if you get the
cookie value. the SSL is just for socket layer transmission. not for web
variable validation/security. that's totally dependent on how the
webserver implements this.
