CVE-2026-116894 Details
Description
REDAXO before 5.21.5 contains an insufficient session expiration vulnerability that allows attackers to retain account access by keeping the current session and stay-logged-in key valid after a password change. Attackers who obtained a user's session id or stay-logged-in cookie can keep backend access after the password change, via the cookie for up to three months.
A vulnerability exists in REDAXO versions prior to 5.21.5, allowing for insufficient session expiration. When a user changes their password, the current session and its associated stay-logged-in key remain valid, enabling continued access to the account. This issue arises because the session ID is not regenerated during the password change process. As a result, an attacker who has obtained a user's session ID or stay-logged-in cookie can maintain backend access for up to three months after the password change.
Users are advised to log out after changing their password to remove the current session and its stay-logged-in key. For those using REDAXO versions prior to 5.21.5, updating to version 5.21.5 or later is recommended, as this version addresses the vulnerability by renewing the session ID and stay-logged-in key during the password change process.
