AnalysisAI

Authentication bypass in Apache Airflow FAB provider allows unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user (including Admin) by sending a forged Azure AD ID token to the OAuth callback endpoint. This affects default deployments of the FAB auth manager with Azure AD OAuth login enabled, prior to version 3.7.3. The vulnerability stems from verify_signature defaulting to False, enabling acceptance of unsigned or algorithm-none tokens.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability lies in the FAB auth manager’s OAuth login module for Azure AD within apache-airflow-providers-fab. During ID token decoding, the verify_signature parameter defaulted to False, bypassing JWT signature validation (CWE-347: Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature). An attacker can craft a token with the alg:none header and arbitrary claims (e.g., user identity, admin role) to impersonate any user. The issue is specific to the Azure AD path; the Authentik OAuth path already enforced verification. The exact affected product is apache-airflow-providers-fab before version 3.7.3.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to apache-airflow-providers-fab version 3.7.3 or later, which changes the default to verify_signature=True. The fix is available via the Apache Airflow advisory. No direct workaround is documented, but administrators can manually set verify_signature=True in the Azure AD OAuth configuration before upgrading, though this requires altering internal provider code or configuration mappings that may not be officially supported outside the patch.
