CVE-2025-60794

Session hijacking via uncleared authentication objects

Published Nov 20, 2025 · Updated Nov 20, 2025

Sensitive-data exposure in perfood CouchAuth 0.21.2 and earlier allows attackers to read session credentials from process memory. The session-creation path in src/user.ts copies token and password values into JavaScript objects without explicitly clearing them after use. Memory-dump, debugger, or equivalent process-memory access is required; recovered credentials enable session hijacking.
