It is possible that the staff attack hitbox stays for some time in a place the last time Phasma attacked with it, therefore damaging enemies even though Phasma is not actively using Staff Strikes. It might be similar to some other issues like with dash abilites (Maul's spin attack, Luke's rush etc.) that's damage got triggered multiple times from one use. Not 100% sure how exactly that triggers as I haven't played that much with her since the patch, but I played enough to notice that bug's existance.

If this is about she retaining the effect on her as she moves around, then refer to this report here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Possible-to-create-a-lingering-damage-knockdown-hit-box-with/m...

 

If this is about phasma's corpse retaining the staff strike effect, then this is the same as luke's and maul's and AFAIK doesn't have a proper report for it yet.
