Summary

CVE-2025-48061 is a medium-severity Insufficient Session Expiration (CWE-613) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 5.6 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Browser Session Hijacking (T1185); ranked at the 4th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-12 (Session Termination) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

wire-webapp is the web application for the open-source messaging service Wire. A change caused a regression resulting in sessions not being properly invalidated. A user that logged out of the Wire webapp, could have been automatically logged in again after…

re-opening the application. This does not happen when the user is logged in as a temporary user by selecting "This is a public computer" during login or the user selects "Delete all your personal information and conversations on this device" upon logout. The underlying issue has been fixed with wire-webapp version 2025-05-20-production.0. As a workaround, this behavior can be prevented by either deleting all information upon logout as well as logging in as a temporary client.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-12 Session Termination good match

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

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

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.

PR.AA-01 mostly match
prevents

Credential lifecycle management directly includes enforcing session expiration to prevent reuse.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Authorization policy enforcement and review covers terminating stale sessions to limit access scope.

PR.AA-03 partial match
prevents

Authentication mechanisms can incorporate session timeout checks but do not inherently address expiration policy.
