What is CVE-2023-38489?

A security flaw in Kirby CMS allows attackers to retain access to user sessions even after a password change. This can happen when a user logs in on shared or untrusted devices, permitting unauthorized access to their account. The issue stems from the failure to invalidate sessions tied to an old password. To mitigate this vulnerability, updates in versions 3.5.8.3, 3.6.6.3, 3.7.5.2, 3.8.4.1, and 3.9.6 ensure that the system tracks hashed passwords for active sessions, effectively logging out users when a password is changed.
