How it was found
Hi Wakatime Security Team,
There is a session management vulnerability in your website. i.e. user's session is not expiring immediately after the logout.
You can get more information of the vulnerability here - https://www.owasp.org/index.php?title=Broken_Authentication_and_Session_Management&setlang=en
An attacker can get the user's session cookies by using Session Spoofer, Cookie Staler etc. and thus, can get the access to the user account.
Steps To Reproduce:
- Login into your wakatime.com account.
- Capture any request. For example Account Settings using Burp Proxy.
- Logout from the website.
- Replay the request captured in step 2 and notice it displays the proper response.
