Severity: low 

Affected versions:

- Apache Airflow 3.0.0 before 3.3.2

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.
