@digitalbazaar/zcap
provides JavaScript reference implementation for Authorization Capabilities. Prior to version 9.0.1, when invoking a capability with a chain depth of 2, i.e., it is delegated directly from the root capability, the expires
property is not properly checked against the current date or other date
param. This can allow invocations outside of the original intended time period. A zcap still cannot be invoked without being able to use the associated private key material. @digitalbazaar/zcap
v9.0.1 fixes expiration checking. As a workaround, one may revoke a zcap at any time.
According to WASC, “Insufficient Session Expiration is when a web site permits an attacker to reuse old session credentials or session IDs for authorization.”
