What is CVE-2025-46344?

The Auth0 Next.js SDK, used for user authentication in Next.js applications, has a vulnerability in versions from 4.0.1 up to but not including 4.5.1. When generating a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) token for a session, the library fails to set an expiration time. This oversight means that while the session cookie can expire or be cleared, the JWE token can remain valid indefinitely, potentially allowing unauthorized access to user sessions. This issue is resolved in version 4.5.1, where the .setExpirationTime method is properly invoked, enhancing the security of session management.
