Description
I don't know if this is a true threat or not, but redmine is explicitly mentioned here:

Reply: No, Rails' CookieStore isn't broken
Do we need to to something about this?
Updated by Jean-Philippe Lang about 11 years ago
Redmine adds a (configurable) maximum lifetime and an idle timeout to sessions so that cookies don't persist "for life". Anyone who runs Redmine is free to switch to ActiveRecordStore or MemCacheStore where sessions are invalidated when the user logs out.

It would be a good idea to add information to the RedmineSettings, I'll take care of that.
