Vulnerability Data

Insufficient Session Expiration vulnerability in Apache Airflow Providers FAB. This issue affects Apache Airflow Providers FAB: 1.2.1 (when used with Apache Airflow 2.9.3) and FAB 1.2.0 for all Airflow versions. The FAB provider prevented the user from logging out. *…

more

FAB provider 1.2.1 only affected Airflow 2.9.3 (earlier and later versions of Airflow are not affected) * FAB provider 1.2.0 affected all versions of Airflow. Users who run Apache Airflow 2.9.3 are recommended to upgrade to Apache Airflow Providers FAB version 1.2.2 which fixes the issue. Users who run Any Apache Airflow version and have FAB provider 1.2.0 are recommended to upgrade to Apache Airflow Providers FAB version 1.2.2 which fixes the issue. Also upgrading Apache Airflow to latest version available is recommended. Note: Early version of Airflow reference container images of Airflow 2.9.3 and constraint files contained FAB provider 1.2.1 version, but this is fixed in updated versions of the images. Users are advised to pull the latest Airflow images or reinstall FAB provider according to the current constraints.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-12 Session Termination good match

AC-12 directly requires automatic session termination after a defined period, structurally preventing reuse of expired session identifiers.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-01 mostly match
prevents

Credential lifecycle management directly includes enforcing session expiration to prevent reuse.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Authorization policy enforcement and review covers terminating stale sessions to limit access scope.

PR.AA-03 partial match
prevents

Authentication mechanisms can incorporate session timeout checks but do not inherently address expiration policy.

A.8.5 Secure authentication none match
none

Automatic termination of inactive sessions and limits on connection duration shrink the window during which a hijacked or unattended authenticated session can be exploited.
