- Also known as: GHSA-62VX-HPCR-M9CH
- Severity: CVSS 6.5 (Medium), CISA-ADP
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial

## Affected

- n/a: version range not reported
- @perfood/couch-auth (npm): through 0.21.2

## Description

Session tokens and passwords in couch-auth 0.21.2 are stored in JavaScript objects and remain in memory without explicit clearing in src/user.ts lines 700-707. This creates a window of opportunity for sensitive data extraction through memory dumps, debugging tools, or other memory access techniques, potentially leading to session hijacking.
