Newer frameworks like Play and Node based Geddy reproduce long‑known flaws rather than fix them: demoed exploitation uses Burp and sqlite to show client-side sessions holding cleartext values and a working session fixation exploit that keeps attacker access, Showdan finds about 4,600 Play apps, Geddy ships secrets in application files, mass assignment and open redirects are present, and CSRF requires manual wiring instead of being on by default. Proposed fix is an open source framework security cheat sheet to bake safer defaults in.
