# Remediation Handoff: CVE-2026-39924

## Summary

NVD: Flarum before 1.8.16 contains an improper session invalidation vulnerability that allows attackers who hold a valid session token to retain full account access after a victim changes their password, because the access_tokens table is never cleared on password... NVD: The TokensClearer::clearPasswordTokens() function only removes rows from the password_tokens table while leaving all active session cookies and API bearer tokens intact, including long-lived RememberAccessToken entries, and administrator-forced password... OSV: Flarum < 1.8.16 Session Persistence via Improper Access Token Revocation
