AI-suggested

Upgrade nerves_hub_web to version 2.5.3 or later, where this improper session invalidation issue is fixed. Until then, users should be aware that role changes and removals do not immediately revoke access on existing sessions or tokens. There is no indication that other mitigations or workarounds are available or recommended by the vendor.

Description

CVE-2026-120997 is an improper session invalidation vulnerability in nerves_hub_web affecting versions from 1.0.0 up to but not including 2.5.3. It allows organization members who are removed or demoted to continue acting with their previous roles on open dashboard pages, device consoles, and local shell channels until those sessions are reloaded or disconnected. The issue arises because role checks occur only once at page load or channel join, and tokens used for console access remain valid for 24 hours and are not revoked on sign-out. This can lead to unauthorized actions persisting beyond membership changes. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.3 and is fixed in version 2.5.3.
