#5985: Decouple cookie_lifetime from security level
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: PHPdiddy | Type: Security Exploit
Status: new | Priority: High
Milestone: 1.2.x.x | Component: Session
Version: 1.2 Final | Severity: Major
Keywords: | Php_version: PHP 5
Cake_version: |
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Since a number of hosts have issues with Security.level = high and the
common fix is to set to medium, it would be nice to still have control
over the cookie_lifetime independently.
I need to use Security.level = medium for my site to function properly,
but doing so causes session cookies to be kept even after a browser close.
This is a big security risk that could cause account hijacks on public
systems.
I feel this is a major problem considering that many users having session
issues are advised to use security.level = medium.
