Technical details
A vulnerability in Rocket.Chat's OAuth implementation results in insufficient session expiration (CWE-613). When a user is deactivated via the `setUserActiveStatus` function, the system revokes Meteor login tokens but fails to invalidate OAuth access or refresh tokens. Furthermore, the OAuth bearer authentication and refresh-token handling logic do not verify the user's 'active' status before authorizing requests or issuing new tokens. An attacker with a previously established OAuth session can continue to access protected API endpoints and mint new access tokens even after their account has been administratively disabled. The issue is resolved in versions 8.5.0, 8.4.2, 8.3.4, 8.2.4, 8.1.5, 8.0.6, 7.13.8, and 7.10.12.
