OliveTin gives access to predefined shell commands from a web interface. Prior to version 3000.11.1, OliveTin does not revoke server-side sessions when a user logs out. Although the browser cookie is cleared, the corresponding session remains valid in server storage until expiry (default ≈ 1 year). An attacker with a previously stolen or captured session cookie can continue authenticating after logout, resulting in a post-logout authentication bypass. This is a session management flaw that violates expected logout semantics. This issue has been patched in version 3000.11.1.
Weakness
Authenticating a user, or otherwise establishing a new user session, without invalidating any existing session identifier gives an attacker the opportunity to steal authenticated sessions.

Extended Description
Such a scenario is commonly observed when:
In the generic exploit of session fixation vulnerabilities, an attacker creates a new session on a web application and records the associated session identifier. The attacker then causes the victim to associate, and possibly authenticate, against the server using that session identifier, giving the attacker access to the user’s account through the active session.
