Project: Persistent Login [1]
Date: 2024-October-02
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 11 ∕ 25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Access bypass

Affected versions: <1.8.0 || >=2.2.0 <2.2.2 || 2.0.* || 2.1.*
Description: 
This module enables users to remain logged in separately from session
timeouts.

The module doesn't sufficiently check a user's disabled status when
validating cookies.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have an
unexpired cookie from a previous successful login.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Persistent Login 8.x-1.x, upgrade to Persistent Login
     8.x-1.8 [3]
   * If you use the Persistent Login 2.x, upgrade to Persistent Login 2.2.2
