Summary
Acunetix 360 detected that the web application is configured to use an overly long session timeout.
The server.servlet.session.timeout configuration item from the Spring properties file defines the default session timeout interval for all sessions created in this web application.
The current configuration specified a session timeout value greater than 30 minutes.
Impact
Session timeouts greater than 30 minutes are not recommended as they provide attackers more time to complete attacks and exploits. Specifically, overly long sessions make applications more susceptible to session hijacking and cross-user web attacks, such as Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
Actions To Take
Decrease the value for server.servlet.session.timeout in the Spring properties file like in this example:
server.servlet.session.timeout=30
