Apache Shiro's "remember me" cookie age is not verified on the server.

"Remember me" cookie age is not verified on the server. This potentially allows an attacker to intercept a valid cookie and reuse it indefinitely, even after the configured expiration time has passed. This issue affects all Apache Shiro versions from 1.2.4 through 2.x, and 3.0.0-alpha-1, only when RememberMe functionality is enabled. Upgrade to version 3.0.0 or later, which fixes the issue.

Apache Shiro sends sensitive cookies in HTTPS session without 'Secure' attribute

Default configurations of Apache Shiro send sensitive cookies in HTTPS session without 'Secure' attribute. This issue affects Apache Shiro from 1.0 to 2.1.0, and 3.0.0-alpha-1. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.1, or 3.0.0-alpha-2 or later, which fixes the issue. In the affected versions, Shiro-native session manager, as well as Remember-Me manager sends JSESSIONID and rememberMe cookies without 'secure' attribute by default.

Path Traversal in Apache Shiro

Apache Shiro, before 1.12.0 or 2.0.0-alpha-3, may be susceptible to a path traversal attack that results in an authentication bypass when used together with APIs or other web frameworks that route requests based on non-normalized requests. Mitigation: Update to Apache Shiro 1.12.0+ or 2.0.0-alpha-3+
