Privileged session retention via stale JWT claims
Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026
Improper session expiration in Frangoteam FUXA 1.3.2 and earlier allows attackers to retain privileged access via stale JWT renewal. In server/api/auth/index.js, POST /api/refresh rebuilds user state with database data or decoded.groups, so deleted accounts and groups=0 fall back to claims from the old token; in server/api/index.js, POST /api/heartbeat re-signs inbound JWT claims without reloading the current database record. Reachability requires secureEnabled=true and possession of a previously issued privileged refresh cookie or access token, after which deletion, disablement, or role demotion no longer revokes access to administrative APIs, project state, runtime configuration, scripts, or backdoor-account creation.
