@fastify/session reuses destroyed session cookie

  • Disclosed: 21.05.2024
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Impact

When restoring the cookie from the session store, the expires field is overriden if the maxAge field was set. This means a cookie is never correctly detected as expired and thus expired sessions are not destroyed.

Patches

Updating to v10.9.0 will solve this.

Workarounds

None
