CVE-2026-56130: Apache Shiro: Remember-me cookie isn't checked for expiry on the server

[Lenny Primak <lprimak () apache org>]

Severity: 

Affected versions:

- Apache Shiro (org.apache.shiro:shiro-web) 1.2.4 through 2.99.99
- Apache Shiro (org.apache.shiro:shiro-web) 3.0.0-alpha-0 through 3.0.0-alpha-1

Description:

"Remember me" cookie age is not verified on the server. This potentially allows an attacker to intercept a valid cookie 
and reuse it indefinitely, even after the configured expiration time has passed.
This issue affects all Apache Shiro versions from 1.2.4 through 2.x, and 3.0.0-alpha-1, only when RememberMe 
functionality is enabled.


Upgrade to version 3.0.0 or later, which fixes the issue.
