Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ArangoDB versions v3.7.6 through v3.8.3

Description The issue is related to insufficient session expiration. When a user's password is changed by the administrator, the session isn't invalidated, allowing a malicious user to still be logged in and perform arbitrary actions within the system.

Recommendations For ArangoDB versions v3.7.6 through v3.8.3, consider invalidating user sessions after a password change by the administrator as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
