Summary

Payload uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication. After logging out, JWT is not invalidated, which allows an attacker who has stolen or intercepted the token to freely reuse it until the expiration date (which is by default set to 2 hours, but can be changed). This issue affects payload versions before 3.44.0.
