CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe logout functionality of Apache Airflow's Core API is vulnerable as it only revokes session tokens presented via the _token cookie, leaving bearer tokens intact when used for authentication. This allows an attacker with a valid bearer token to maintain access even after the legitimate user has logged out, potentially compromising sensitive operations for up to 24 hours. Organizations utilizing Apache Airflow, particularly those relying on bearer token authentication, should prioritize upgrading to version 3.3.2 or later to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
Apache Airflow: the Core API logout endpoint revokes only a session token presented as the _token cookie. When a client logs out presenting its credential as an Authorization bearer header instead, the endpoint returns its normal logout response but revokes nothing, so the token remains valid until it expires. An attacker who already holds a copy of that token keeps the victim's access after the victim has logged out and believes the session ended; the default token lifetime is 24 hours and is configurable. Affects API clients that authenticate with a bearer token rather than the browser session cookie. The attacker must already possess a copy of a valid token; obtaining one is outside the scope of this issue, and no privileges beyond the victim's own are gained. Users of apache-airflow are recommended to upgrade to apache-airflow version 3.3.2 or later, which fixes the issue.
