1) Insufficient Session Expiration (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3916)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to reuse of session ids across root and user authentication sessions when using a client with the offline_access scope. An attacker with ability to obtain the root session ID can utilize the refresh token and authenticate to the application as another user.

The issue affects shared environments, where the attacker is able to obtain victim's cookies after the victim logs out.
