Apache Shiro RememberMe Cookie Lifetime Bypass v1.2.43.0.0-alpha-1: CVE-2026-56130 June 2026

Apache Shiro: Remember-me cookie isn't checked for expiry on the server
"Remember me" cookie age is not verified on the server. This potentially allows an attacker to intercept a valid cookie and reuse it indefinitely, even after the configured expiration time has passed. This issue affects all Apache Shiro versions from 1.2.4 through 2.x, and 3.0.0-alpha-1, only when RememberMe functionality is enabled. Upgrade to version 3.0.0 or later, which fixes the issue.

Weakness Type

Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay

A capture-replay flaw exists when the design of the software makes it possible for a malicious user to sniff network traffic and bypass authentication by replaying it to the server in question to the same effect as the original message (or with minor changes). Capture-replay attacks are common and can be difficult to defeat without cryptography. They are a subset of network injection attacks that rely on observing previously-sent valid commands, then changing them slightly if necessary and resending the same commands to the server.
