## Affected

- knadh listmonk: from 4.1.0, fixed in 6.1.0
- github.com/knadh/listmonk (Go): from 1.1.1-0.20241028090858-319053dd7a90, fixed in 1.1.1-0.20260329113754-1b5e8d38c778

## Description

listmonk is a standalone, self-hosted, newsletter and mailing list manager. From version 4.1.0 to before version 6.1.0, a session management vulnerability allows previously issued authenticated sessions to remain valid after sensitive account security changes, specifically password reset and password change. As a result, an attacker who has already obtained a valid session cookie can retain access to the account even after the victim changes or resets their password. This weakens account recovery and session security guarantees. This issue has been patched in version 6.1.0.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on knadh listmonk, github.com/knadh/listmonk, upgrade to a fixed version (6.1.0, 1.1.1-0.20260329113754-1b5e8d38c778) per the references below.
