D. Session Fixation Attack In a Session Fixation Attack, an attacker sets a session ID for a victim before the victim logs in. The attacker then uses this session ID to gain unauthorized access to the victim's session once the victim logs in. By appending the session ID to the login URL and sharing it with the victim, the attacker can hijack the victim’s session, allowing them to browse and interact with the active session.

Selected Answer: D
This type of attack assists the attacker in hijacking a valid user session. The attacker hijacks the user-validated session, with prior knowledge of the user ID for the session by authenticating with a known session ID.
