CVE-2025-57735: CWE-613: Insufficient Session Expiration in Apache Software Foundation Apache Airflow
CVE-2025-57735 is a critical vulnerability in Apache Airflow versions prior to 3. 2. 0 where JWT tokens used for authentication are not invalidated upon user logout. This flaw allows an intercepted token to be reused, potentially enabling unauthorized access. The issue is fixed in Apache Airflow version 3. 2. 0 and later, which implement token invalidation at logout to prevent token reuse.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2025-57735) involves insufficient session expiration in Apache Airflow. Specifically, when a user logs out, the JWT token previously used for authentication remains valid and is not invalidated. This can lead to token reuse if the token is intercepted by an attacker. The Apache Software Foundation addressed this issue in Airflow 3.2.0 by implementing a mechanism to invalidate tokens at logout, mitigating the risk of token reuse.
Potential Impact
An attacker who intercepts a JWT token from a logged-out user could reuse the token to gain unauthorized access to the Airflow system. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.1 (critical), indicating high impact on confidentiality and integrity without requiring privileges or user interaction. Availability is not affected.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade to Apache Airflow version 3.2.0 or later, where the token invalidation mechanism at logout is implemented. This upgrade effectively mitigates the vulnerability by preventing reuse of JWT tokens after logout. No other mitigations are indicated or required according to the vendor advisory.
