[LOG] regular fatal errors reported in log #735

Recently I checked the file security-shepherd.log to see if there were any anomalies. I was then surprised to see a relatively large number of fatal errors like this :
FATAL @ 01 Dec 19:34:44,278 https-openssl-nio-8443-exec-7 utils.Validate - User account testuser Attempting Admin functions! (With Valid CSRF Tokens)

After a short analysis, I discovered that this message is regularly issued in connection with the servlet servlets/module/GetModule.java which on line 83 is calling the method utils/Validate.validateAdminSession(ses, tokenCookie, tokenParmeter). In this method, in turn, this fatal error is output on line 274.

I noticed that every time a normal user calls up a module (lesson or challenge) in the menu for viewing, this error is reported.
Either this does not represent a fatal error, or something is going wrong in the analysis of the session....
