Session hijacking via invalid cookie deletion
Published Sep 3, 2025 · Updated Sep 4, 2025
Insufficient session expiration in affected Envoy OAuth2 filter releases allows attackers to retain account access through a shared browser. The signout path builds expired Set-Cookie headers for configured __Secure- or __Host- names without the required Secure attribute, so browsers reject the deletion. Exploitation requires a prior user to log in and attempt logout on the same browser; the next user can access the retained session and its account data.
