Summary
team-alembic ash_authentication from 4.5.0 before 4.15.1 and from 5.0.0-rc.0 before 5.0.0-rc.16 does not revoke stored session tokens when a password changes through a non-atomic action, such as the generated password reset action. An unauthenticated remote attacker who holds a victim's session token stays signed in after the victim resets or changes their password, because the log out everywhere add-on skips revocation (CWE-1466). No user interaction is needed.

Description from the CNA
Improper Session Invalidation after Authentication Credential Change vulnerability in team-alembic ash_authentication allows an attacker holding a victim's session token to stay signed in after the victim resets or changes their password. With apply_on_password_change? true, AshAuthentication.AddOn.LogOutEverywhere.Transformer adds OnPasswordChange to update actions as a global change guarded by where: changing(hashed_password). That condition is evaluated before the action's before_action hooks run, but AshAuthentication.Strategy.Password.HashPasswordChange sets the new hash in a before_action hook, so for every non-atomic password change the condition is false and the user's stored tokens are not revoked. The generated password reset action and the installer's change_password action are both non-atomic. This issue affects ash_authentication: from 4.5.0 before 4.15.1 and from 5.0.0-rc.0 before 5.0.0-rc.16.
