The external frontend system uses numerous background calls to the backend. Each background request is treated as user activity so the SessionMaxIdleTime will not be reached. This issue affects: OTRS 7.0.x version 7.0.14 and prior versions.
Weakness
According to WASC, “Insufficient Session Expiration is when a web site permits an attacker to reuse old session credentials or session IDs for authorization.”
