How to fix?

Upgrade contao/core-bundle to version 4.13.40 or higher.

Overview

contao/core-bundle is an Open Source PHP Content Management System for people who want a professional website that is easy to maintain.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Session Fixation due to the improper handling of remember-me tokens after a password change. An attacker can maintain access to an account even after the legitimate user has changed their password by exploiting the failure to invalidate these tokens.

Workaround

Disable "Allow auto login" in the login module.
