CVE-2026-48726

CVE-2026-48726 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Apache Airflow with a CVSS 3.x base score of 6.5. It is not currently listed as actively exploited by CISA, and its EPSS exploit-prediction score is low. The underlying weakness is classified as CWE-613.

Key facts

Description

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.
