Persistent account access via unrevoked session cookie
Published Aug 6, 2025 · Updated Aug 6, 2025
Session management in Gatling Enterprise before 1.25.0 allows remote authenticated users to retain application access after logout. The stateless session mechanism accepts the existing session-id cookie after logout and never invalidates it unless the encryption secret changes. Possession of a previously authenticated cookie preserves application access indefinitely, even after the account is removed or its permissions are reduced.
