Descriptions

Rapid7 Nexpose versions 6.5.50 and prior suffer from insufficient session expiration when an administrator performs a security relevant edit on an existing, logged on user. For example, if a user's password is changed by an administrator due to an otherwise unrelated credential leak, that user account's current session is still valid after the password change, potentially allowing the attacker who originally compromised the credential to remain logged in and able to cause further damage.

Las versiones de Rapid7 Nexpose versión 6.5.50 y anteriores adolecen de una caducidad de sesión insuficiente cuando un administrador realiza una edición relevante para la seguridad de un usuario existente conectado. Por ejemplo, si un administrador cambia la contraseña de un usuario debido a una fuga de credenciales no relacionada, la sesión actual de esa cuenta de usuario sigue siendo válida después del cambio de contraseña, lo que potencialmente permite que el atacante que originalmente comprometió la credencial permanezca conectado y pueda causar Daño adicional.
