cwe-613-insufficient-session-expiration

CWE-613 insufficient session expiration is a vulnerability where user sessions remain active indefinitely or far too long, allowing unauthorized access if a session is hijacked. It occurs when Java web applications fail to enforce proper session timeout and invalidation policies.

The best way to configure Spring Security session timeout and logout invalidation is by modifying the session management configuration to explicitly define maximum session timeouts, restrict concurrent active sessions, and trigger immediate session destruction upon user logout.

Yes, you can use SAST findings to automatically remediate insufficient session expiration vulnerabilities by applying deterministic fixes to your Java source code, specifically targeting and updating the Spring Security session management configuration to enforce proper limits.

Yes, you need Spring Security dependencies included in your Java application to configure concurrent session limits, enforce session timeouts, and guarantee session invalidation upon logout to effectively secure the application's session management.

Limiting concurrent sessions helps secure Java web applications by preventing an attacker from reusing an active session on another device after logout, directly mitigating CWE-613 by ensuring that invalidated or timed-out sessions cannot be reused for unauthorized access.
