Datahub · Datahub · CVE-2023-25562
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
DataHub versions prior to 0.8.45
**Description**
The issue concerns authentication checks using the `AuthUtils.hasValidSessionCookie()` method, which could be bypassed by using a cookie from a logged out session. This is because session cookies are only cleared on new sign-in events and not on logout events. As a result, any logged out session cookie may be accepted as valid, leading to an authentication bypass to the system.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 0.8.45, upgrade to version 0.8.45 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of session cookies or restricting access to sensitive areas of the system until the upgrade can be applied.
