DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient Session Expiration vulnerability in team-alembic AshAuthentication and AshAuthentication Phoenix allows a revoked session to remain fully authenticated.

A resource configured with session_identifier :jti and require_token_presence_for_authentication? disabled stores its session value as <jti>:<subject>. The jti is there so that signing out can revoke that one session. Neither reader consults it: AshAuthentication.Plug.Helpers.authenticate_resource_from_session/4 and AshAuthentication.Phoenix.LiveSession.on_mount/4 both split the value with split_identifier/2, discard the jti and pass the bare subject to AshAuthentication.subject_to_user/3, which reloads the record. The token-presence branch of each function does check its token, calling AshAuthentication.TokenResource.Actions.get_token/3 with the jti and the purpose user. Because the revocation record is never read, neither its revoked state nor its expiry constrains the session, so a session captured before sign-out keeps working.

This issue affects ash_authentication_phoenix: from 2.10.0 before 2.17.4 and from 3.0.0-rc.0 onward; ash_authentication: from 4.9.1 before 4.15.0 and from 5.0.0-rc.0 before 5.0.0-rc.14.

AnalysisAI

Revoked sessions continue to be treated as fully authenticated on affected AshAuthentication and AshAuthentication Phoenix deployments, so anyone holding a session value captured before the victim signed out can keep acting as that user indefinitely. The flaw affects ash_authentication_phoenix from 2.10.0 before 2.17.4 and from 3.0.0-rc.0 onward, and ash_authentication from 4.9.1 before 4.15.0 and from 5.0.0-rc.0 before 5.0.0-rc.14, but only for resources configured with session_identifier :jti while require_token_presence_for_authentication? …
