CVE-2024-13280 is an Insufficient Session Expiration vulnerability (CWE-613) in the Drupal Persistent Login module that allows Forceful Browsing. The issue affects Persistent Login versions from 0.0.0 before 1.8.0 and from 2.0.* before 2.2.2. Published on 2025-01-09, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), marking it as critical.
Remote attackers require no privileges, authentication, or user interaction to exploit this over the network with low complexity. Exploitation enables high-impact effects on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as unauthorized access through persistent sessions that fail to expire properly, potentially allowing session hijacking or forceful browsing to sensitive areas.
The Drupal security advisory SA-CONTRIB-2024-044 at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2024-044 provides details on mitigation, including patches for upgrading to Persistent Login 1.8.0 or 2.2.2.

AC-12 directly requires automatic session termination after a defined period, structurally preventing reuse of expired session identifiers.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Credential lifecycle management directly includes enforcing session expiration to prevent reuse.
Authentication mechanisms can incorporate session timeout checks but do not inherently address expiration policy.
Authorization policy enforcement and review covers terminating stale sessions to limit access scope.
