Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Session Fixation when database session storage is enabled - which it is not by default. A user whose session has been deleted via web interface or API can continue to access the session. User sessions that are automatically deleted due to account deactivation or deletion are also affected.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be avoided by using cache-based session storage instead of database-based.
