Security Advisories 🚨

🚨 Improper session management in passport

This affects the package passport before 0.6.0. When a user logs in or logs out, the session is regenerated instead of being closed.

Release Notes

0.6.0 (from changelog)

Security

• Improved robustness against session fixation attacks in cases where there is physical access to the same system or the application is susceptible to cross-site scripting (XSS).

0.5.3 (from changelog)

Fixed

• initialize() middleware extends request with login(), logIn(), logout(), logOut(), isAuthenticated(), and isUnauthenticated() functions again, reverting change from 0.5.1.

0.5.2 (from changelog)

Fixed

• Introduced a compatibility layer for strategies that depend directly on passport@0.4.x or earlier (such as passport-azure-ad), which were broken by the removal of private variables in passport@0.5.1.

0.5.1 (from changelog)

Added

• Informative error message in session strategy if session support is not available.

Changed

• authenticate() middleware, rather than initialize() middleware, extends request with login(), logIn(), logout(), logOut(), isAuthenticated(), and isUnauthenticated() functions.

Does any of this look wrong? Please let us know.
