Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-613: Insufficient Session Expiration, where according to wasc, "insufficient session expiration is when a web site permits an attacker to reuse old session credentials or session ids for authorization.".

Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Overview Auth0 NextJS `v4.0.1` to `v4.5.0` does not invoke `.setExpirationTime` when generating a JWE token for the session. As a result, the JWE does not contain an internal expiration claim. While the session cookie may expire or be cleared, the JWE remains valid. ### Am I Affected? You are affected if you are using Auth0 NextJS SDK v4. ### Fix Upgrade to `v4.5.1`.
