Summary

ArangoDB - Insufficient Session Expiration after Password Change

Details

In ArangoDB, versions v3.7.6 through v3.8.3 are vulnerable to Insufficient Session Expiration. When a user’s password is changed by the administrator, the session isn’t invalidated, allowing a malicious user to still be logged in and perform arbitrary actions within the system.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
