What's the cookie expiration time ? Does the server's session overlap it ? If it's pretty long : Catch someone's computer backup (happy cloud) , import cookies -> same effect . If yes, I say it's a valid note ;) On 8 April 2013 18:19, Chris Roussel <lab12 () lavabit com> wrote:
Dear Hackers, I've discovered what I think is a failure in GitHub.com login cookies: I installed the "Import Cookies" & "Export Cookies" plugins in my firefox 20, then I signed in at github and exported my cookies, then I signed out, I cleaned all the cookies in my browser and I started it again, then I imported the cookies and I am login in without typing my passwords, I've tried this with my google account, but there is clear that when I signed out the info in the cookies was annulled, then it appears like I am signed while I am searching, but if I want to check my mail/drive I have to type my password. If you can reproduce this, tell to githubbers, if you can not let us know! I know, it is very difficult to catch my cookies while I'm on an https session, but this is only a note.
