CVE-2026-40587
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
blueprintUE is a tool to help Unreal Engine developers. Prior to 4.2.0, when a user changes their password via the profile edit page, or when a password reset is completed via the reset link, neither operation invalidates existing authenticated sessions for that user. A server-side session store associates userID → session; the current password change/reset flow updates only the password column in the users table and does not destroy or mark invalid any active sessions. As a result, an attacker who has already compromised a session retains full access to the account indefinitely — even after the legitimate user has detected the intrusion and changed their password — until the session's natural expiry time (configured as SESSION_GC_MAXLIFETIME, defaulting to 86400 seconds / 24 hours, with SESSION_LIFETIME=0 meaning persistent until browser close or GC, whichever is later). This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.0.

"value": "blueprintUE es una herramienta para ayudar a los desarrolladores de Unreal Engine. Antes de la 4.2.0, cuando un usuario cambia su contraseña a través de la página de edición de perfil, o cuando se completa un restablecimiento de contraseña a través del enlace de restablecimiento, ninguna de las operaciones invalida las sesiones autenticadas existentes para ese usuario. Un almacén de sesiones del lado del servidor asocia userID ? sesión; el flujo actual de cambio/restablecimiento de contraseña actualiza solo la columna de contraseña en la tabla de usuarios y no destruye ni marca como inválida ninguna sesión activa. Como resultado, un atacante que ya ha comprometido una sesión retiene acceso completo a la cuenta indefinidamente - incluso después de que el usuario legítimo haya detectado la intrusión y cambiado su contraseña - hasta el tiempo de caducidad natural de la sesión (configurado como SESSION_GC_MAXLIFETIME, con un valor predeterminado de 86400 segundos / 24 horas, con SESSION_LIFETIME=0 significando persistente hasta el cierre del navegador o GC, lo que ocurra más tarde). Esta vulnerabilidad se corrige en la 4.2.0."
