Fixed In:

Opened: May 17, 2021

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Subsession variable lookup internally assumes that a complete session DB lookup name (Session ID + Subsession key) is used. However, when using the lookup table, only the subsession key is passed in.

Impact

A Per-Request Policy execution may get the value of the subsession variable from a different APM session.

Conditions

Subsession variables are referenced in the Per-Request Policy outside of the Subsession without the Session ID.

Workaround

Add the session ID to the reference to the subsession variables used in Per-Request Policies.

Fix Information

Fixed an issue with subsession variable lookup.
