validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-hh34-374j-pfr5 ↗EUVD-2026-82578 ↗
description
ash_authentication 4.10.0 through 4.14.2 and 5.0.0-rc.0 through 5.0.0-rc.13 can accept a forged remember-me state over an existing authenticated session. An attacker able to place a cookie in a victim's browser can switch the victim into the attacker's account when remember-me is enabled in the browser pipeline and token presence is not required.
mitigation
Upgrade 4.x deployments to 4.15.0 or 5.0 release-candidate deployments to 5.0.0-rc.14. Until upgrading, require token presence for authentication where supported, or remove the remember-me plug from the browser pipeline.
fixed in 4.15.0, 5.0.0-rc.14
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
