What is CVE-2022-47406?

A session management vulnerability exists in the Change Password for Frontend Users extension of TYPO3, which fails to invalidate existing sessions when a user changes their password. As a result, an attacker with access to an active session may exploit this flaw to maintain their access even after the password has been altered. The issue affects versions prior to 2.0.5 and those in the 3.x series below 3.0.3, allowing unnecessary session persistence and potential unauthorized access.
