Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
EPSS: 0.3% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
Public exploit or detection template: none known
Published: 2026-06-25 · updated 2026-10-25
Weakness: CWE-294

Description

"Remember me" cookie age is not verified on the server. This potentially allows an attacker to intercept a valid cookie and reuse it indefinitely, even after the configured expiration time has passed. This issue affects all Apache Shiro versions from 1.2.4 through 2.x, and 3.0.0-alpha-1, only when RememberMe functionality is enabled. Upgrade to version 3.0.0 or later, which fixes the issue.

Affected products

Apache Software Foundation Apache Shiro: from 1.2.4 through 2.99.99; from 3.0.0-alpha-0 through 3.0.0-alpha-1
