🔬 Technical Analysis

#

Summary

Changing a user’s password does not invalidate existing sessions, allowing an attacker with a stolen cookie to retain access even after the victim resets their password.

Details

SillyTavern relies on cookie-session for authentication, storing all session data (user handle, permissions) in a signed cookie. The endpoints POST /api/users/change-password and POST /api/users/recover-step2 only update the password hash in the database but do not expire current sessions. Because the session is stateless and stored entirely in the client cookie, there is no server-side mechanism to revoke a token once issued.

PoC

1.Log into the same SillyTavern account from two different browsers (e.g., Chrome and Firefox private mode). 2.In Chrome, change the account password under User Settin
