CVE-2026-79313
Description
A flaw was found in webpy. The application's session management relies on periodic cleanup to expire sessions instead of checking the last-access time when a session is loaded. This allows an attacker holding a previously valid session cookie to replay and use an expired session. As a result, an attacker can continue accessing protected resources after the configured idle timeout, leading to unauthorized access.
