CVE-2026-79313

Summary

The flaw allows an attacker to replay an expired session, gaining unauthorized access to protected resources. This is critical as it bypasses the intended session expiration mechanism.

Exploitability

Exploitation is relatively straightforward if an attacker has access to a valid session cookie. The attacker must wait for the session to expire and then replay it.

Blast radius

If exploited, the attacker can access protected resources, potentially leading to data theft or system compromise.

Detection

No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
