  • Note also that Joomla will provide a "patch" fix in 3.8.6 which is scheduled to be released next week (March 13, 2018). It will provide two fixes: (1) A new plugin that'll clear the session data during HTTP user requests (ie, it has the possibility to trigger a cleanup whenever any user requests a page). (2) Two new CLI scripts for clearing the session via command line, server scripts, and CRON jobs. You only need to use one or the other (though I guess you could use both, there is no need). In Joomla 4.0 the sessions/metadata architecture will be restructured so these might change or go away. Commented Mar 7, 2018 at 14:19
  • (con't) Besides the Git page Adam already provided, github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/19687 is also a key one to read. Commented Mar 7, 2018 at 14:24
