CVE-2026-48726: CWE-613: Insufficient Session Expiration in Apache Software Foundation Apache Airflow
A bug in Apache Airflow's auth manager logout handling left previously-issued JWT tokens valid after the user clicked logout in the UI: the logout flow for `FabAuthManager` and `KeycloakAuthManager` did not actually reach the underlying `revoke_token()` call, so the JWT remained accepted by the API server until its natural expiry. An attacker holding a previously-issued JWT for a logged-out user could continue to make authenticated API calls as that user. Affects deployments configured with `FabAuthManager` or `KeycloakAuthManager` (the bug does not affect SimpleAuthManager). This is a residual gap in the fix for CVE-2025-57735, which addressed cookie-side invalidation in PR #57992 / PR #61339 but did not cover the provider-side `revoke_token()` reachability in the FAB / Keycloak code paths. Users who already upgraded for CVE-2025-57735 should additionally upgrade to `apache-airflow` 3.2.2 or later to cover the FAB / Keycloak logout paths.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from insufficient session expiration in Apache Airflow's FabAuthManager and KeycloakAuthManager logout flows. Specifically, the revoke_token() call is not reached during logout, leaving JWT tokens valid post-logout. This allows an attacker possessing a previously issued JWT to make authenticated API calls as the logged-out user until the token expires naturally. The issue is a follow-up to CVE-2025-57735, which fixed cookie-side invalidation but did not cover token revocation on the provider side. The vulnerability affects deployments using FabAuthManager or KeycloakAuthManager and is resolved by upgrading to Apache Airflow version 3.2.2 or later.
Potential Impact
An attacker with a previously issued JWT token for a user who has logged out can continue to make authenticated API calls as that user until the token expires naturally. This undermines session termination and could lead to unauthorized access to user resources. The vulnerability does not affect SimpleAuthManager configurations. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache Airflow to version 3.2.2 or later to ensure that the logout flow properly calls revoke_token() for FabAuthManager and KeycloakAuthManager, fully invalidating JWT tokens upon logout. This upgrade complements the previous fix for CVE-2025-57735. No other mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the advisory, but the recommended upgrade version is 3.2.2 or later.
