描述

Sometimes, there is the need to refresh the session ID without loosing the session data.

Examples:

  1. Refreshing session ID after authentication (to protect against session fixation attacks) https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Session_fixation https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport/issues/192
  2. Manually refreshing session ID before it expires (e.g. if the user wants to keep working after the maximum session lifetime, but we do not want the same session ID to be used)

研究方向
Review the express session source code, specifically the session regeneration logic. Examine the linked OWASP article and the referenced passport issue. Investigate the comments for any proposed implementations or rejected approaches. The goal is to add an option to regenerate the session ID while preserving session data, without breaking existing behavior.
