Summary

Session tokens and passwords in couch-auth 0.21.2 are stored in JavaScript objects and remain in memory without explicit clearing in src/user.ts lines 700-707. This creates a window of opportunity for sensitive data extraction through memory dumps, debugging tools, or other memory access techniques.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability may lead to session hijacking through leakage of session tokens or passwords from memory. It poses a risk to the confidentiality of authentication data.

Recommendation

Update couch-auth to a version that explicitly clears sensitive data from memory after use. Avoid storing passwords and tokens in JavaScript objects for extended periods.
