Session not invalidated after password reset

Vulnerability Details
After a password reset link is requested and a user's password is then changed, not all existing sessions are logged out automatically. The automatic removal of existing sessions linked to a user whose password was changed is only the case if the session was initiated with the 'Remember me for a week' box NOT checked at the log-in page; sessions with the 'remember' option enabled will persist after the password change. Logging in with the new password doesn't invalidate the older session either: I could browse HackerOne using two sessions (in two different browsers) which were initiated using two different passwords.
