Best Practice 5_Security_TM: Proactively Invalidate Inactive Sessions

[Tanushree Maiti]

By Default , glide.active.session.timeout.invalidate.session property is set to false

When glide.active.session.timeout.invalidate.session is not set to true, there can be a small interval of time where a timed out session is not invalidated (60 or more seconds depending on queue size).
If a session is hijacked, an attacker may be able to use a session during this small period of time.

Servicenow Recommendation: 

Recommendation of ServiceNow is to set glide.active.session.timeout.invalidate.session property value to true.
