Severity: important

Affected versions:

- Apache Roller 1.0.0 before 6.1.5

Description:

A session management vulnerability exists in Apache Roller before version 6.1.5 
where active user sessions are not properly invalidated after password changes. 
When a user's password is changed, either by the user themselves or by an 
administrator, existing sessions remain active and usable. This allows 
continued access to the application through old sessions even after password 
changes, potentially enabling unauthorized access if credentials were 
compromised.

This issue affects Apache Roller versions up to and including 6.1.4.

The vulnerability is fixed in Apache Roller 6.1.5 by implementing centralized 
session management that properly invalidates all active sessions when passwords 
are changed or users are disabled.
