Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-613.
Summary
The Apache Airflow Keycloak provider (apache-airflow-providers-keycloak) before 0.11.1 does not end the session on logout. The logout route revokes the presented token, but KeycloakJWTMiddleware then issues a new, unrevoked token on the same response, so the user stays logged in (CWE-613). Anyone with later access to the same browser, such as on a shared workstation, can keep acting as the logged-out user.

Description from the CNA
The Apache Airflow Keycloak auth manager did not end the session on logout: the logout route revoked the presented token, but `KeycloakJWTMiddleware` then issued a new, unrevoked token on the same response, so the user stayed logged in. Deployments using the Keycloak auth manager are affected: after a user logs out, anyone with later access to the same browser (for example on a shared workstation) can continue to act as that user. Users of apache-airflow-providers-keycloak are recommended to upgrade to apache-airflow-providers-keycloak 0.11.1 or later.
