8.8 CVE-2025-24859
A session management vulnerability exists in Apache Roller before version 6.1.5 where active user sessions are not properly invalidated after password changes. When a user's password is changed, either by the user themselves or by an administrator, existing sessions remain active and usable. This allows continued access to the application through old sessions even after password changes, potentially enabling unauthorized access if credentials were compromised.
This issue affects Apache Roller versions up to and including 6.1.4.
The vulnerability is fixed in Apache Roller 6.1.5 by implementing centralized session management that properly invalidates all active sessions when passwords are changed or users are disabled.

CWE-613 : Insufficient Session Expiration
According to WASC, "Insufficient Session Expiration is when a web site permits an attacker to reuse old session credentials or session IDs for authorization." Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.) Set sessions/credentials expiration date. JavaScript SDK does not set an expiration time for JWE tokens related to a session Web interface for a power quality analyzer uses tokens without an expiration date network traffic analyzer for PROFINET networks does not expire sessions AI/ML monitor for IT operations allows re-use of old session tokens due to insufficient session expiration
