  - Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. Prior to 8.1.4.1 and 8.0.5.2,
    ActionDispatch::Session::CacheStore writes a session back to the cache at the end of each request that
    loaded it, without checking that the session's cache entry still exists. When a concurrent request
    destroys the session, through reset_session on logout or by deleting its cache entry on the server, a
    request that loaded the session earlier and finishes later restores it under its original session ID.
    Logout and server-side revocation could therefore fail to end a session, and an attacker who holds a
    stolen session cookie could keep that session valid across the victim's logout. Applications that use
    config.session_store :cache_store are affected, with any cache backend.
    ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore is not affected, nor is ActionDispatch::Session::MemCacheStore with
    Dalli 4.0.0 or later, whose session store does not write back a session that was deleted. This issue is
    fixed in versions 8.1.4.1 and 8.0.5.2. (CVE-2026-126076)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
