Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to terminate sessions they do not own.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in the HTTP /sessions/:sessionKey/kill route when handling bearer-authenticated requests. A remote user can send a crafted request to terminate sessions they do not own.
