Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the TokenRefreshHandler endpoint at /api/v1/tokens/refresh.json, which fails to validate token type before issuing a new session token. An attacker with a short-lived or IP-restricted API token can call this endpoint to obtain a 30-day normal session token, circumventing token expiry and IP-based access controls. The fix was applied in version 2.0.1.
