CakePHP Misconfiguration: Excessive Session Timeout

Abstract
Definir un tiempo de expiración de sesión demasiado largo da a los atacantes más tiempo para poner en peligro potencial las cuentas de los usuarios.
Explanation
Cuanto más tiempo permanezca una sesión abierta, más oportunidades tendrá un atacante para poner en peligros las cuentas de los usuarios. Durante el tiempo que una sesión permanece activa, un usuario malintencionado puede ser capaz de forzar el robo de la contraseña de un usuario, descifrar la clave de cifrado inalámbrico de un usuario o dirigir una sesión desde un explorador abierto. Los tiempos de expiración de sesión largos pueden, además, impedir que se libere memoria y que se produzca al final una denegación de servicio si se crea un número de sesiones suficientemente largo.

Ejemplo 1: en el siguiente ejemplo se muestra CakePHP configurado con la sesión de seguridad low.

    Configure::write('Security.level', 'low');


Junto con la opción Session.timeout, las opciones Security.level definen cuánto tiempo es válida una sesión. El tiempo de espera de sesión real es igual al Session.timeout por uno de los siguientes múltiplos:

'high' = x 10
'medium' = x 100
'low' = x 300
