## Summary

Keyfactor EJBCA, an open-source public key infrastructure (PKI) and certificate authority software, is affected by this vulnerability. A former administrator whose role was removed may keep access to the system for longer than intended, because authentication is cached past the configured time limit during an active TLS session.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

No affected packages have been listed by the sources.

## Description

An issue was discovered in Keyfactor EJBCA 9. When an administrator is removed from its administrator role while having a valid TLS session, EJBCA may, in certain circumstances, cache authentication for longer than the configured maximum time (default: 30 seconds), which results in the former administrator retaining access that they should no longer have.
