Persistent authenticated access via unrevoked logout tokens
Published Jun 5, 2026 · Updated Jun 5, 2026
Improper session termination in HAX CMS PHP before 26.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to retain CMS access with logged-out tokens. The logout endpoint clears only client-side state and neither revokes nor blacklists user_token values, so authenticated API endpoints accept them until their original TTL expires. Exploitation requires a previously issued token and permits continued reading of CMS metadata and site structure after the legitimate session ends, with no reported integrity or availability impact.
