Session hijacking via absent expiration enforcement
Published Aug 18, 2023 · Updated Oct 3, 2024
Insufficient session expiration in Social Media Skeleton before 1.0.5 allows remote authenticated users to hijack sessions that should have expired. The user and administrator login handlers create sessions without expiration timestamps, while protected pages accept any existing session ID. Exploitation requires authentication and possession of an old session identifier, which grants unauthorized read and write access within the associated account.
