Unauthorized access via unexpired OIDC browser sessions
Published Apr 21, 2026 · Updated Apr 21, 2026
Insufficient session expiration in Data Sharing Framework before 2.1.0 allows physically proximate attackers to reuse OIDC browser sessions. AbstractJettyConfig configured neither Jetty's maximum inactive interval nor logout on ID-token expiry, so authenticated browser sessions remained valid indefinitely. Exploitation requires OIDC authentication, a user who leaves a shared browser without logging out, and physical access to that browser; mTLS machine communication is unaffected.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
