CVE-2025-24859Network attack vector

Persistent account access via unrevoked sessions

Published Apr 14, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Insufficient session expiration in Apache Roller before 6.1.5 allows remote authenticated users to retain access after a password change. The user and administrator password-change paths update stored credentials without revoking the account's already active application sessions. A previously acquired session is required, but it remains usable with its existing privileges after the account owner or an administrator changes the password.
