User impersonation via persistent logged-out sessions
Published Oct 19, 2023 · Updated Sep 12, 2024
Session expiration failure in HCL Compass 2.0 through 2.2 allows attackers to impersonate users by replaying a logged-out session ID. The logout path leaves the authenticated server-side session valid instead of revoking it, so the same identifier continues to authorize requests. Exploitation requires discovery of a user's session identifier and grants the permissions already assigned to that user.
