Privacy Statement |
As it is commented in the OWASP guide:
"All applications should have a method of logging out of the
application. This is particularly vital for applications than contain
private data or could be used for identity theft".
If a user forgets to close the browser or he is forced (social
engineering?), the attacker can access to the victim session.
Regards,
