CVE-2026-46401: CWE-613: Insufficient Session Expiration in haxtheweb issues
HAX CMS helps manage microsite universe with PHP or NodeJs backends. Versions prior to 26.0.0 suffer from an improper session termination vulnerability where authentication tokens remain valid after user logout. This allows attackers who obtain valid tokens to maintain persistent access to authenticated CMS functionality, bypassing the intended session termination mechanism and enabling unauthorized access to CMS metadata and administrative functions. Version 26.0.0 fixes the issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-46401 describes an insufficient session expiration vulnerability (CWE-613) in haxtheweb's HAX CMS 'issues' product. Versions before 26.0.0 do not properly terminate sessions upon logout, leaving authentication tokens valid. This flaw enables attackers who obtain these tokens to bypass session termination and retain persistent access to authenticated CMS functionality, including metadata and administrative features. The issue is resolved in version 26.0.0.
Potential Impact
Attackers who acquire valid authentication tokens can maintain persistent unauthorized access to the CMS after the legitimate user logs out. This undermines session termination controls and may expose sensitive CMS metadata and administrative functions to unauthorized users.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade to haxtheweb HAX CMS version 26.0.0 or later, where the session termination vulnerability is fixed. No other official remediation or temporary fixes are indicated. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor stating the fix is in version 26.0.0.
