Summary
Bludit prior to version 3.22.0 has 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.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with a deactivated account can still gain access to the system, potentially leading to unauthorized access to data or administrative functions.
Recommendation
Update Bludit to version 3.22.0 or later.

Original NVD description (English source)
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.
