Improper session invalidation in the component /carrental/update-password.php of PHPGurukul Car Rental Project v3.0 allows attackers to execute a session hijacking attack.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This CVE describes a session-handling flaw in PHPGurukul Car Rental Project v3.0. After a password update, an attacker may be able to keep using a hijacked session instead of being logged out. That can expose accounts and sensitive data, but the sources do not show confirmed active exploitation.
Executive priority
Prioritize review if the application supports customer, staff, or administrative accounts. The issue can preserve unauthorized account access after credential changes, undermining account recovery and incident response. Urgency is high for internet-facing deployments, but evidence is incomplete on patch availability and exploitation.
Technical view
CWE-613 improper session invalidation is reported in /carrental/update-password.php. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.1 with network access, low complexity, no privileges, and user interaction required. The stated impact is high confidentiality loss and low integrity impact. No vendor patch details are provided in the supplied sources.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to deployments of PHPGurukul Car Rental Project v3.0 where /carrental/update-password.php is reachable. The CVE affected-product fields are listed as n/a, so asset owners should verify the application and version directly.
Exploitation context
The supplied bundle describes session hijacking risk but does not cite CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. CVSS indicates user interaction is required. A public GitHub reference exists, so defenders should treat details as publicly available without assuming exploitation in the wild.
Researcher notes
The CVE record names the vulnerable component and CWE-613 but provides sparse product metadata. Treat the GitHub reference as public disclosure evidence, not proof of exploitation. Avoid assuming affected versions beyond PHPGurukul Car Rental Project v3.0 unless confirmed by vendor or code review.
Mitigation direction
Check PHPGurukul or project maintainer guidance for an update or patch.
Invalidate all active sessions after password changes where configurable.
Require reauthentication before password changes in affected deployments.
Restrict access to the application until session handling is verified.
Monitor accounts for suspicious activity after password changes.
Validation and detection
Inventory systems running PHPGurukul Car Rental Project v3.0.
Confirm whether /carrental/update-password.php is present and reachable.
Review password-change behavior for old session invalidation.
Check logs for session reuse after password changes.
Track vendor or CVE updates for corrected affected-product details.

CWE-613: Exact CWE lookup
Use the exact CWE identifier as the starting point before reviewing related ATT&CK behavior. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references authentication or credential exposure, so valid-account and credential-access review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.

Insufficient Session Expiration
Insufficient Session Expiration represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
