Summary
Bludit is a content management system. Versions prior to 3.22.0 have a vulnerability in the user management logic that allows deactivated accounts to maintain access via persistent authentication tokens. When an administrator disables a user account, the application fails to invalidate or clear the associated tokenAuth and tokenRemember fields in the JSON database. Consequently, any user with a pre-existing "Remember Me" cookie can bypass the account disablement and maintain a valid authenticated state. Version 3.22.0 patches the issue.
